| | | | |
| − | In this section: MacShane and Muslims you state: "In the same article, he misrepresents the statement which had caused the outrage by publishing the altered version of the speech, which was changed as a result of the furore." Hmmm... did he republish the original?? If he altered it to due to pressure, I suspect that you mean that he reverted to the original...

| − | :To salvage its credibility, the IISS, unlike the British Government, claimed that it made mistakes in its dossier about the extent of the Iraqi threat, and commissioned an independent assessment by [[Rolf Ekeus]], a former head of United Nations arms inspectors in Iraq.Samore and Chipman later claimed that their dossier had caveats about Iraq's supposed WMD arsenal, while the Government insisted on removing such caveats from intelligence assessments - leading to "sexing up" accusations.<ref> Kim Sengupta, [http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2004/IISS-Iraq-Occupation26may04.htm Iraq Occupation Made World Less Safe, Pro-War Institute Says Studies ], ''The Independent'', May 26, 2004

| |
| − | Hi
| |
| − | Why did you remove the table format of the component organizations of NED? It put forth the linkages better than what you did. NB: there were more groups that will be added to this.

| |
| − | Hi Idrees
| |
| − |
| |
| − | coming perilously close to launch time -- cd you have a look at your portal page and put in some sentence about Zionism that includes the link to David's page on Zionism (the link is already in there, just needs putting inside some text)? would be good for public to have some intro to Zionism on the portal page as it has such importance in Middle East matters. Also could you stick some text in the Issues section? A way to approach this is may be to ask why Joe Public should care about the Middle East and answer that question in this section.

| |

| − | Categories section: is Necons the only category assoc with the Israel Lobby? What about CIA, Lovestoneites etc which seem to be other categories listed above? don't we need a link to those categories too in the categories section?

| |
| − | Hi Idrees,
| |
| − | Just a little note about the page on [[James Woolsey]]. There's a lot of great info on him here, but the referencing needs tightened up. As you are the main author of the page, would you please look into this if you have the time. Guidelines for ref layouts etc are on [[SpinProfiles:A Guide to Referencing|referencing guidelines]] page to ease the process. Thanks and best wishes,--[[User:Lynn Hill|Lynn Hill]] 13:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

| − | This link lists firms (incl PR) that are connected with Israeli companies [http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=491831&fid=1049. This may (or may not) be of use to you, thought I'd pass it on just incase.

| − | Near East Report is AIPAC's inhouse publication which was launched by I.L. Kenen with startup funding from the Jewish Agency, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act restrictions on funding of propaganda for a foreign state.

| − | Hi Idrees, on the AIPAC page in the first section you added this sentence: "See main article AIPAC's origins" but the link doesn't go anywhere? Are you going to add something? or is the link not right? Thanks

| |
| − | Hi again, thanks for fixing the link. Do you have a ref for this para under heading: Legislation backed by AIPAC?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | AIPAC's focus on Iran was also evident in 1995, when they pressed Clinton who then toughened up policy by imposing an economic embargo on Iran. But AIPAC are reported to have wanted more, which resulted in the 1996 Iran and Libya Sanctions Act (this imposed sanctions on any foreign companies investing more than $40 million to develop petroleum resources in Iran or Libya).
