Talk:Kit Bond

message: Would it be too scandalous to note that it is being purported that he is one of the 9 (infamous?) US Senators to have just voted on the floor of the US Senate in favor of torture? Howardsend 00:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: His vote is not in favor of torture.  If you listen to his remarks, you will find out where he stands, and that is: (a) torture is already illegal, (b) that the methods that we use are no worse than those we use on our Special Forces in their training, and (c) this would put a defined knowledge of our interrogation methods in the hands of terrorists.  I have no qualms with this vote being put in the article, so long as people realize why he takes that position.  To simplify it as a vote in favor of torture is to severely demagogue the vote.  Who would vote in favor of torture?  Nobody who would remain politically viable.  You may not agree with the reasoning, but don't play it like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrekums (talk • contribs) 14:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The section on actions as Senator hardly paints a comprehensive picture of the Senator.

replies: text: I agree.  The article is not very well balanced.  Majority of the information about Mr. Bond's Senatorial career has negative connotations.  It is quite disappointing if one is looking for a neutral source.  69.29.129.16 04:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

text: One of the great things about wikipedia is that anyone is able to add information to an article, to provide more information, better balance, etc. John Broughton 15:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Added some more "neutral" information, such as the trip that he took to Kuwait and Iraq in 2006, with three democratic members of congress.  NPOV Tag removed.  Davemcarlson 06:10, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The paragraph quoted above does not present an opposing view; it sounds like something taken from a press release.  I'm not sure how to fix it, though.  For the same reason, I also deleted the inappropriate "our nation's" from before "highways, roads and bridges". JLeander 04:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actions as Senator - NPOV 

message: Please leave the article at Kit Bond rather than Christopher S. Bond. While that is his formal name, general policy is that articles should use the most easily recognized name. He goes by Kit Bond in everyday use, and that his how he presents himself on his . Thanks.DCmacnut<> 23:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I did not know of that policy. I was attempting to make his name correct. Terrancee (talk) 23:43, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: The article says that "during a debate [Bond] made a comment comparing waterboarding to swimming, stating 'There are different ways of doing it. It's like swimming, freestyle, backstroke,' in response to the question 'do you think that waterboarding... constitutes torture?'" I don't think this is a comparison between waterboarding and swimming, I think it is a claim that there are different ways of doing both activities. That's quite different than saying something like, 'waterboarding is like swimming.' The way the article is written, a reader could easily get the impression that Bond was flippantly dismissing concerns over waterboarding, when that isn't supported by the quote at all.0nullbinary0 (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
