What? NO DISCUSSION?
Someone edited this page (like al-Qaida) to add the assertion that Carter funded al-Qaida, and the link to Zmag. The Zmag article does not make that assertion, though it does discuss Carter funding of unjust regimes and drops the name of Osama bin Laden. If the assertion cannot be verified from a reliable source (Zmag is political advocacy and not news or scholarship) then it must be removed, since if false it constitutes libel. --FOo
My two dictionaries define extradite as
"To deliver up by one government to another, as a fugitive from justice."
and
"hand over to the authorities of another country [syn: deliver,
deport, surrender]"
An extradition request is exactly what it was. The fact that it had an ultimatum attached and the fact that it didn't follow normal procedures do not change that. Finally, Ed, your abuse of VANDALISM IN PROGRESS is absolutely shameful. Vandalism is not "something I disagree with." DanKeshet
- You exaggerate. I wrote changes to US anti-Taliban articles: perhaps not really "vandalism" per se, but not really correct either., so my abuse of the VIP page was not quite "absolutely" shameful. I qualified my remarks with a perhaps not really and invited the very attention you just gave it. Lighten, up, dude. :-) --Ed Poor 17:41 Oct 29, 2002 (UTC)
