Talk:Sara Jane Olson

message: I pointed out that this person is a terrorist and a murderer.  Let's not let political correctness stand in the way of the truth. (Unsigned comment was added 03:36, 2 January 2007 by user: 74.73.177.70)
:The word terrorist may apply but if you add it, it will likely be reverted.  There are some wikipedia editors who would prefer that we reserve label for more extreme acts.  Some of her SLA comrades have that category attached to their articles but I refrained from putting it here for now until a discussion can be had over this.  I did add the category American bank robbers because she did plead guilty to that. Does anyone else feel that the Terrorist category should be added here? LiPollis 13:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A terrorist is just a revolutionary the writer doesn't like. Look at Luis Posada Carriles, whom the Bush administration clearly doesn't think is a terrorist, because they do like him. I don't see that the category has any use in Wikipedia at all. Put in the facts, and let the reader decide on the labels. --Rbraunwa 17:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree entirely.  And, since killing civilians is an act of terrorism, I fully expect all of the Wiki articles for every branch of the United States Armed Services to focus upon the fact that these are terrorist organisations.  Furthermore, since the LAPD kills unarmed civilians on a regular basis, I expect their page to also reflect their status as a terrorist organisation.  --64.142.82.28 (talk) 18:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

text: From the preceding comments, there seems to a politicization decent here. I was born in 1947, also, and lived those events first hand. I disagreed when the movement turned to violence out of frustration. To tone this dialog down, maybe we should consult Merriam-Webster or some other definitive source for the definitions of Terrorist or guerrilla or irregular. Previous comments from 64.142.82.28 are disingenuous and although understandable should not be encouraged or tolerated in civil discourse. Patnclaire (talk) 13:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

message: In line citations for most of this article are badly needed. Can someone help provide links to reputable sources for the information? Much of the statements are lacking sources. That would be most helpful. Thanks!  A little mollusk (talk) 19:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

"... Sarah Olson, a  journalist  who faced  jailtime  for an article she wrote on  Truthout."
There are many possible spellings; the  google  results have contributed to my confusion.

message: I think the LEAD section needs  to be rewritten to provide an accessible overview. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper, so the lead section needs to be written in different style. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:10, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
