Ungrammatical sentence: ambiguous meaning

[edit]

The sentence:

During his time in Military Intelligence, he became a senior officer of its Unit 504, a small secret unit dedicated to human intelligence which was particularly active in Lebanon[1] and administers Facility 1391, a prison described by critics as "Israel's Guantanamo".

What does this mean? The tenses shift mid-sentence. Does it mean that he currently administers this prison? What's the connection to the subject?

Gallup poll "criticism"

[edit]

See here: The Big Lie: Find Out Why Many Muslims Think Bin Laden Is Innocent. The accusation is bogus so I've removed it per BLP. <<-armon->> 13:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That article doesn't mention Carmon, Whitaker, or Gallup polls. Did you provide the wrong link by mistake? The Whitaker criticism was accurately explained and is in no way a violation of BLP. csloat 18:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It does. "It turns out an overwhelming majority of people in the Muslim world, according to a Gallup poll, do not believe the attacks of Sept. 11 were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden, or by Arabs, or by Muslims. Many believe, instead, that the whole thing was a conspiracy orchestrated by Jews. " Isarig 19:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed - guess I should read rather than trusting "find on page." I won't revert. But Whitaker does claim, in more than one place, that Gallup has confirmed that Carmon's representation of the findings were false. csloat 19:50, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Which suggests that Whitaker is not a reliable source. <<-armon->> 23:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Or that they are talking about different Gallup polls. I seriously doubt Whitaker simply made this comment up. csloat 00:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The elaborated quotes seems to be part of broader discussion between the two. I suggest that we keep the basics of it, and allow the reader to follow the link to the Guardian. --Smith's Rottweiler (talk) 20:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
