[edit] Testimony About Bybee Memo

This is unnecessary and NPOV. The first sentence noting widespread criticism is sufficient, or at least, not as objectionable--considering the entire preceding paragraph on the subject. The testimony is overkill and presents no other side--though it doubtless exists. The testimony should be removed and included merely as external links. Otherwise, who cares what John Dean has to say? I mean, really.--Smashingworth 19:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Although we know the Republican-leaning members of Wikipedia would like to whitewash this article, no can do. Facts are stubborn things... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curmudgeon99 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kaleck Litigation

I removed reference to the Kaleck litigation. No sources were provided. Additionally, it is unimportant and frivolous. Germany has no jurisdiction over the actions taken by a foreign national in a foreign state, thus this litigation is of no consequence. See for example, http://www.law.com/jsp/dc/PubArticleDC.jsp?id=1166522799501 , which says "No one thinks that Donald Rumsfeld will end his days in a German prison. Or that there is any real chance he will have to face trial in Germany over allegations that he authorized policies leading to the torture of prisoners at U.S. detention facilities in Iraq and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba." This case was already dismissed once, and will probably be dismissed again.
