[edit] Could we have some positive material as well?

I have never been involved in editing, so forgive stupid questions, but I notice there is little information on the actual mission here. I was serving in CAR during this time and this is but one incident tarnishing a noble mission and it would be nice to have some mention of what we did while we were there other than these few psycho's that caused this uproar. I don't know how the rules apply to someone directly involved doing any of the editing, so am not going to touch it until I get clarification on that.

But this is an article about the torture and killings, not about the mission in general. And it wasn't just one incident! Manormadman (talk) 14:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Manormadman
