Talk:Daniel Ortega/Archive 1

message: I cut the name of María José Bravo from the main article because she was mudered by a liberal politician, during the provincial election of 2004, and not because any critic position against Ortega.
17.09.2006 -- The sentence where you removed her name no longer makes any sense. It needs to be fixed.

message: I'd agree that the old version was a little uncritical, but this just swings WAY too far in the other direction. To call this new version NPOV is absurd. I'm going to leave it alone because I'm about to go to bed and don't want simply revert to the old version... There are obviously very different ways reasonable people can interpret the facts here; let's make a good faith effort at balance and objectivity ASAP.--Brian Z 07:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

text: But we don't have it indexed under Saavedra, do we? It's categorized under Ortega. Are you referring to a list somewhere? Everyking 11:27, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I'd like to see some citations for the allegations that Daniel Ortega is corrupt
19.09.2006 -- In the same vein, the characterization of the Contra as "various anti-Sandinista guerilla movements" is not at all substantiated. There is ample historical agreement at this point that the Contra were created by the US, first covertly, then overtly. They were an arm of US policy. And they were not a "guerilla movement" so much as a terrorist force, attacking the symbols of Sandinista policy, things like farm collectives, schools, and health clinics. The article also does not say anything about the admission of the Bush Administration (the first one) that they funnelled millions of dollars into Chamorro's campaign, in violation of specific provisions put in place by the US Congress. That seems a significant little detail to mention about 1990.  --Pkondrat 02:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Where should we put the allegations that Ms. America (funny...) has annouced against Ortega.  Should it be simply placed on the last part of the article or should it be treated with a little more detail and be devoted a section?  I mean, a rape allegatiojn is serious, so treatment of both sides should be considered.  Let me know what you think.  Brusegadi 02:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have reverted Ana Fodor's edits today because they are massive, unsupported, and biased.  They should defenetly be discussed first.  Brusegadi 07:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The opening line currently reads that Ortega is the president-elect of Nicaragua. This is false. A president-elect is someone who has already been elected, but has yet to take office. The election is currently underway, so he is not the president-elect but simply a presidential candidate. JF Mephisto 17:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes.  It is taking forever for these guys to count the votes...  I am so desperate to know, and with 15% of the votes counted you cant really know (statistically speaking, the difference would prevail only if the votes already counted represent a random sample, but I dont think they do, so there is enough room for a turn around...)

message: I think when discussing the CIA's funding of the Contras under President Reagan, one should mention Oliver North and the Iran Contra Affair which was  one of the biggest scandals of the 80's.Ivygohnair 23:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
