... did comment, "every proposed or recommended library item to assess force protection issues associated with camp dynamics -- such as impact on good order and discipline."

This just doesn't make sense.

And, for future reference, don't use "--" within an article; use "—" which gives "—". --Brian McNeil / ^talk 11:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

whats amp;mdash? Anyway, I fixed that sentence Soapy (talk) 18:33, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Title of Book

{{editprotected}}

Is the book called "9/11", as indicated in the article, or "Interventions", as indicated in the cited sources? --Alanmaher (talk) 17:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

That is confusing indeed. I browsed a library catalog, and see that there are Chomsky books with both titles, both about the September 11 2001 attacks on the US.

• "9/11" (2001) http://www.worldcat.org/title/9-11/oclc/48766363&referer=brief_results (this was a NYT bestseller)
• "Interventions" (2007) http://www.worldcat.org/title/interventions-noam-chomsky/oclc/444150409&referer=brief_results

That same catalog lists an Arabic translation for "9/11", but not for "Interventions". However, Rosenberg's Miami Herald article is quite clear, and it seems to me that the only source for the book title is a confidential contact of Rosenberg. So we can do nothing more, or less, than post a correction.

I suggest

 
Correction — Aug 4, 2010
 
According to the Miami Herald, the title of the book sent to a Guantanamo prisoner was Interventions (a book of newspaper essays about the September 11, 2001 attacks), not 9/11 as stated in the article. Wikinews apologizes for the error.

Yep, the correction looks good. Benny the mascot (talk) 19:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Resolved.

OK, correction posted. --InfantGorilla (talk) 10:21, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
