Guantanamo captives[edit]

Several of the survivors were sent to Guantanamo. Their accounts are consistent with the description in the article.

So, would these confirming accounts be useful, if cited here? -- Geo Swan 13:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original research[edit]

Comparison with the reaction to another Doran documentary appears to be original research. Any editor wishing to re-add it needs to find a critique of Doran's work as a whole, or at least covering this and another example. Nick Cooper (talk) 13:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, that belongs at Jamie Doran not here. Thx, RetroS1mone talk 22:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also the material from Newsweek and Guardian does not say Afghan Massacre - the Convoy of Death or talk about Jamie Doran so that is also original research, saying this is about the same thing or the same film. I took it out. Any editor wishing to re-add it should have reliable sources specificly link Afghan Massacre the convoy of death and real incidents in Afghanistan. RetroS1mone talk 22:43, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am finding blogs that talk about this film but I do not know it is really notable, any way why do some blogs say it is about Mazar-i-Sharif and some say it is about Kunduz, was the film maker confused and thought they were the same place? RetroS1mone talk 03:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the title of the article correct?[edit]

Should the title of this article be written as "Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death"? Should there be a hypen or colon? What about the word "the" in the title? How do we correct this?118.4.190.177 (talk) 01:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Democracy Now![edit]

Does anyone know if the Democracy Now! broadcast included pictures anywhere in the US? Finnegan says it was only a radio broadcast, but Democracy Now! is also broadcast on some TV channels. Do they only broadcast the audio as well? And what was it like in 2003? JN 466 23:14, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
