What was that template again, that said this talk page was not for discussions about the topic but about discussions to improve the article? Could somebody please write that in? I know that this article will spark a lot of controversy, over the web, including Wikipedia, and over the press. Me, GKT5 05:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

You spelled my name wrong (although I'm sincerely flattered you cited to my article). Also, the proper citation would be to JURIST (all capital letters) not 'The Jurist.' You're awesome, my friend, keep up the good work. Dwyer Arce (talk) 17:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Summary vs Full Text

I started off editing particular sections of the summary. E.g., I wanted to replace the very broad term "belligerent" with the actual language of the bill. The summary word "belligerent" was just too vague. Would it also include someone who was fighting against the US in accordance with the Law of War? Did it mean someone who simply had a belligerent attitude? Well, the more I thought about the selective nature of the summary, the more I realized that it was too difficult for me (a new Wikipedia editor) to work out an article that complied with the Five Pillars. So here you go fellow Wikipedians -- the full text of the bill. Pare it down, make it concise, but please keep NPOV in mind. (Also remember that John McCain has some personal experience in matters involving imprisonment, interrogation, and torture.) Thanks.--S.

Text of bill

It is inappropriate for the entire text of the bill to be included in this article. No other article on any other act or bill includes the text of the bill. If needed, a link to the text in WikiMedia Commons or to the original text in the appropriate US Government site would be appropriate, but it is not appropriate here. What would be appropriate are interpretations of the bill, based on valid reliable sources. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned in April, the only way I could see to get a fair picture of the bill was to provide the actual text. A link to another source is certainly a great idea, but I'm not wikified enough to do this.--S. Rich 13:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
