Talk:Bill Delahunt

message: it may be important to note that while he was district attorney, he decided against prosecuting Amy Bishop for the murder of her brother, and she  went on to kill a number of people in Alabama.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.68.27 (talk) 04:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I've linked to the news account. AGAIN - I found that the Bishop controversy was already noted here and memoryholed. The wikipedians are a god-damned disgrace. --Zimriel (talk) 01:25, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I changed the word "tyrant" to "leader" because, no matter how much you hate Hugo Chávez, he is a democratic elected president with broad support among the lower income people of Venezuela. 
In November 2005, he met with Hugo Chavez and engineered a deal in which Venezuela would supply winter home heating oil at a 40% price reduction to thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents. The deal was carried out via the Venezuelan owned Citgo, and brought accusations that Delahunt was assisting an anti-American leader.

thread_title: Tyrant?

message: I removed the 'Criticism' section added by Barwick, since its only content is an unsourced anecdote the relevance of which is dubious. Is the anecdote meant to imply that David Addington's anti-terrorism role was secret prior to Delahunt's questioning? If that's the case, please clarify that point and add a reference.  --Fullobeans (talk) 17:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

message: You failed to mention his springboard from the DA's office by framing several men for murders committed in Walpole State Prison, now referred to as 'Cedar Junction'. He's mention prominently in 'Bumbeefed', a book written by Stephen Doherty, even though he threatened the author and the publisher with libel if his name appeared.

thread_title: Springboard to Congress

message: This section seems not very NPOV.  A blogger suggesting a link between the retirement announcement and the murder case doesn't seem to be substantial enough to link these two even with a caveat that it may be a coincidence.  The shooting in question took place at 5pm EST on Feb 12th.  The Globe article published the 13th said he had told reporters "yesterday" he was considering retirement.   There is also a NYT blurb from Feb 12th at 6:55pm referencing a conference call with reporters that was the source of the report.  This call was prompted by the decision to retire by Patrick Kennedy announced late in the night on Feb 11th.  While the suspicion makes superficial sense it doesn't seem to make sense under scrutiny and including conspiracy theory innuendo seems inappropriate.  Thoughts?
