Copyright infringement[edit]

This entire article is basically copy paste from the original Washington Post article at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/02/AR2005070201361_pf.html Isn't this therefore copyright infringement...? It's certainly not very original.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.171.35.101 (talk • contribs).

Can you list some of the sections that are copied? I search for random phrases from the Post's article with this article and nothing looks identical. Awyong J. M. Salleh 04:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, do you think such information comes in your dreams? Please read Wikipedia:Copyrights#Using copyrighted works from others and tell me about it. Dana Priest broke the story, and it is now public information. If it wasn't to be "public information", then it should not have been published. Furthermore, since Dana Priest's original article, others French news articles have been made on it, so there is a variety of sources on the subject. Copyright infringement would be to copy-paste Dana Priest' text, which has not, as far as I am aware of, been done. If you do spot some such ill-expressed sentences, please copy-edit them.

Ahmed Mehdi[edit]

Who is this person and what's his background? I think it would be useful to know. If the man was part of a DGSE operation, does he not then deserve his own article, or at least, some short summary on his political motives? Someone let me know =) --m3taphysical 01:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
