Talk:Saddam Hussein admits to requesting trials

Sources do not match the title

This is an extreme misrepresntation of the facts in the sources. According to the sources; "Saddam did not admit to signing the approval(for the executions)" and in all sources he only admits to calling for trials; not to calling for executions. Neutralizer 21:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I have tried to fix the title; the article was NPOV but the title was wayyyyyyyyy off. Neutralizer 22:01, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I've gone through the BBC source and seen that he "admitted razing the farms of those convicted of trying to kill him in the town of Dujail in 1982." (emphasis mine) razing is a form of attack, even though it may have been carried out in a precise manner. I see no mention of the ordering of the trials which has been dug out of the Sun article. That's not relevant because having someone put on trial is due process. The current title implies he manipulated the legal system whereas he didn't. What is more important is that when these people were found guilty their property was also attacked. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:54, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

addition MrM's objection is that the assertion in the title is not sourced from within the article, please add detail to make the article internally consistent before removing the tag. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC) I see that's actually been addressed in the same diff as the tag was removed. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 22:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused... what is the problem with the article? --Wolfrider 00:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

It appears that MrM is upset about something; he actually blocked me as he assumed 65.1.149.41 and I are the same person; fortunately Brian discovered we are about 1,000 miles apart [1]; but I really have no idea what MrM wants done with this article now; it seems fine to me, although I am NOT the editor who removed MrM's tag..not even once.

Okay. I'll leave the development tag on it for now, but I'd like to have it published as quickly as possible. If there are any problems with it and someone wants specific concerns to be addressed, please don't hesitate to post them here. I'll get on it as quickly as possible. --Wolfrider 00:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

If the title is the problem would a more preferable one be; Saddam admits to ordering attack on Dujail? --Wolfrider 00:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I think we need get another non-western source.
