Talk:David Addington

message: I was originally going to replace the original text with the following, to make clear that the NYT article is completely unsourced:
According to an unsourced New York Times report, Addington clashed with former Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey at a 2004 White House meeting on the NSA warrantless surveillance program.  The Times reported the story as follows:
"At one testy 2004 White House meeting, when Mr. Comey stated that “no lawyer” would endorse Mr. Yoo’s justification for the N.S.A. program, Mr. Addington demurred, saying he was a lawyer and found it convincing. Mr. Comey shot back: “No good lawyer,” according to someone present." 
On further reflection, however, I decided that if something is unsourced it is not worth citing in the main article text at all (akin to printing rumors).  Therefore, I removed the quotation altogether.  If a verifiable source can be article, it may be considered for inclusion -- but even then I would hesitate, as I don't think that a petty moment of name-calling is worthy of inclusion.

message: I have no strong opinion on this, but another editor with an IP address and no other contributions edited an external link so that it still appears in the article, but no longer functions since the insertion of the text string "inappropriate" into the URL.  It had been part of the article for a long time, but I never looked at it until today's edit brought it to my attention.  It appears to be a real warning/request letter from Addington personally (back when he was OVP general counsel, and on OVP stationery) to the operator of a parody website, which that person apparently ignored and then put on the website.  Does anybody else have any thoughts regarding the merits of its inclusion or exclusion from the Addington article?  The current you-can-see-it-but-not-click-it approach seems to be sort of a halfway measure.  The edit itself can be viewed by clicking the citation at the end of this sentence.

message: Scott Horton reported yesterday that charges were to filed today against "The Bush Six".  I figure the best way to cover this material would be to a single article that dealt with the charges in detail.  I started to prepare a draft here.  Comments to it are welcome at its talk page. I figured the articles about the six men should each have a relatively small section that sets the context for the charges for that particular man, and then refers readers to the main article, via  or .
