Talk:J. D. Gordon

message: This is not a notable subject for inclusion in Wikipedia.  There will undoubtedly be numerous references to Lt. Commander Gordon as his job is to speak to the media.  This does not justify his inclusion in Wikipedia without his having done anything notable.
I invite discussion about this - otherwise I will recommend this for deletion.

thread_title:  Notability Issue 

message: Al Hawsawi -- the captive who squirmed in his seat after his mandatory anal exam, the man whose pain Gordon seemed to have mocked, turned out to be one of the individuals who the CIA used a technique they called "rectal feeding".  
The technique was used in the 19th century, in emergencies, like shattered jaws.  But it has long since been replaced by intravenous glucose or entereal feeding.  Forced entereal feeding can be extremely unpleasant.  But forced rectal feeding, as done by the CIA was brutal.  They forced a tube the size of a dildo up the individual's rectum.  They pushed all kinds of stuff up the individual's rectums, including their regular meals, pureed.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on CIA torture clarified that Al Hawsawi suffered the most serious injuries from this technique.  His lawyers assert this was essentially anal rape.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on CIA torture said Al Hawsawi was left with "anal prolapse".  Every time Al Hawsawi has a bowel movement the lowest portion of his large intesting unrolls, with the stool, and is left hanging out of his anus.  Al Hawsawi then has to manually insert his intestine back into his body.  It's painful.  It's extremely painful.  Undignified too, I imagine.
Was Gordon aware of Al Hawsawi's anal prolapse?  Technically, it was classified.  In practice secrets like this leaked like a seive, at Guantanamo.  Geo Swan (talk) 02:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

:I reviewed all of the material posted by User:Geo_Swan and every statement and quote is verifiable by a reliable source. Therefore it does not violate WP:BLP. However, if you care to be more specific regarding your complaints about the article and discuss it on this talk page, it would make it easier to look into. Please discuss future major revisions to this article on this talk page before making drastic edits. Also, it is not necessary to quote Wikipedia policy on an article itself.

replies: text: There was a big excision justified by calling on the authority of BLP.  Some of that material belonged in an article on Carol Rosenberg.  I didn't restore that material.  But I think the BLP concerns were misplaced.  And I restored other referenced, neutral material.  Geo Swan (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  discussion... 

message: I excised a serious inaccuracy introduced in this edit with the frankly misleading edit summary "Update to reflect current status".
The edit introduced the sentence "The Pentagon subsequently announced that Rosenberg would be banned from Guantanamo."  This sentence strongly implies that Rosenberg was banned because senior officials within the DoD wanted to support Gordon.  On the contrary those officials who did comment on his complaint made clear he was on his own.
Rosenberg and Michelle Shephard were briefly banned from Guantanamo, for publishing that Joshua Claus had testified during a prepatory hearing for Omar Khadr Military Commission.  The Prosecution referred to Claus as "witness number 1".  It was the position of the Prosecution that Claus's ID was a secret, and that by publishing it the two reporters had breached the rules they agreed to in order to attend the hearings.  However Claus's role in torturing Bagram captives was very well known, and had been widely published.  Claus was the last interrogator to strike Dilawar.  It had been widely known, and widely published that Claus was the interrogator who subjected 15 year old Khadr to abusive interrogation techniques.  The ban on these two reporters was soon dropped.
More particularly for this article this brief ban was totally unrelated to Gordon's complaint.  Geo Swan (talk) 01:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  excise serious inaccuracy 

message: This edit, with the misleading edit summary "Correction to record", excised a large section of the article with no meaningful attempt to explain why.
So I reverted it.
If you have a policy based concern, please share it here on the talk page.  Geo Swan (talk) 21:14, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please discuss contested issues on the talk page, not in edit summaries? 

message: Four sources were given to campaign chatter after Gordon was appointed to Cain's campaign, with more space given to his sexual harassment complaint than to comments about how he might or might not (or did or did not) contribute a foreign policy/security perspective. No followup to what did happen, or comments on his performance (if any) as Cain's campaign ran down.Parkwells (talk) 21:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
