Agreed. I'm going to redirect it there. --maru (talk) contribs 04:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diagnosis

The article is vague about his actual diagnosis. Delusions of this kind are quite characteristic for schizophrenia - is this supported by sources? JFW | T@lk 20:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

There are some substantial errors here, and one of them is possibly libellous: Tager was never tried nor convicted for the assault on Dan Rather. After he was jailed in the other murder, his psychologist said he believed Tager attacked Rather and Rather later identified the picture. But that's a long way from saying he did it.

Also, the line the assailant to who attack Rather repeated was "Kenneth, what is the frequency" and not "What's the frequency, Kenneth" sung by R.E.M. They probably changed the syntax to make it more melodic.
