Talk:Adnan Farhan Abd Al Latif

message: The first paragraph of the "Life at Guantanamo" section appears to be presented as factual but the only source given is something called "Poems from Guantanamo" which is sourced from Amnesty International (A.I.).  When I went to the linked page I could not find anything called "Poems from Guantanamo." To attempt to factually represent a situation like conditions at a prison using now-unavailable poetry from the A.I. website seems to me very highly suspect without additional evidence/sourcing. It is nothing more than hearsay. Further, this article does not make clear why  A.I. is used as a source nor does it establish the objectivity of A.I. as a source. Having followed the Gitmo prisoner issues somewhat closely during the 2000s, I recall that A.I. was often politically opposed to the United States, placing into question A.I.'s objectivity and reliability. 
I would submit that a lot more work needs to be done in this section. As I recall from the news reports of that day, prisoners were treated reasonably well at Guantanamo Bay; Muslim prisoners were given korans and prayer rugs, allowed to pray 5 times a day, fed a Muslim diet, and so forth. This contrasts sharply with utterly inhumane conditions in which Americans who were captured by Al-Qaida or ISIS were held, if they came back alive at all.

message: I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.
People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do.
Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.
And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are. 
Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.
Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

replies: text: Another useful source is the The Guantanamo Docket. It is an interactive database provided and updated by the New York Times. The database is searchable and has the Pentagon documents (CSRT and ARB) included. Additional documents and reliable New York Times research regarding the detainees at Guantanamo are also provided. This is the link to the documents and research regarding Allal Ab Aljallil Abd al Rahman. IQinn (talk) 08:26, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: In the course of making [ these edits] other contributors unnecessarily reformatted the articles references.  This is hardly ever necessary, and it is hardly ever a good idea.
I reverted them.
Only after reverting them would a diff show how many actual changes to the article's content were made in those edits.  Geo Swan (talk) 17:01, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I will try to move things around to do this, and will insert the standard mainstream sources when that makes sense (and it usually does).Haberstr (talk) 08:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
