Per discussion on Talk:Plame affair, this page has been split off in the hope that the main page can be made a more useful size. This new page needs serious editting since much of the information was repeated in several places on the original page. I don't want to do too much of the cutting myself, but tried simply to neutrally copy the relevant text. Please feel free to edit severely - just remember, the talk is about making the web page the best it can be, and not the merits of the investigation itself! rewinn 08:03, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Anthonymendoza, good idea! But I already did this back in Oct 2005 when I created the CIA leak grand jury investigation. I think that CIA leak grand jury investigation is a quality article because it has been featured off and on on the current event page.
I merged Plame affair criminal investigation into CIA leak grand jury investigation because it is a duplicate in format and content. -- FloNight talk 15:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to be pushy, but this article was a mistake and should not have been started because another one existed on the topic. CIA leak grand jury investigation was a direct split of Plame Affair last October. I split it for the same reason tht you split this one. It makes no sense to make a duplicate split on the same topic. IMO, the logical thing is to redirect the article to the existing one. FYI, the material from this article is not lost. It is in the Plame Affair, in the history of this article, (and on a word processor on my laptop ;-). There needs to be discussion about exactly how much off the topic of the criminal investigation the content should be. I think some of this article is too wordy and goes slightly off topic. It goes into details that are not needed making it too wordy. FloNight talk 21:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to see some explanation in the article about why the investigation has gone on as long as it has. Fitzgerald apparently knew within weeks that Armitage was Novak's source and that there was no crime in the leak of Plame's identity, so why did it go on for 14 more months? What are the real legal questions here? -- RFabian 14:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I merged all of the content of both this article and the "CIA leak..." article, combining all of the information (such that no info from either article is lost), and reorganizing it chronologically. the proposed new version is as Talk:CIA_leak_grand_jury_investigation/proposed_merged_version. please comment on it so we can get this process moving. Kevin Baas talk 22:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
This article needs significant cleanup and has needed it for months (see tag on article). It does not conform to the requirement of giving "full citations" for articles that are controversial and that concern living persons: see Wikipedia:Guidelines for controversial articles, Wikipedia:Reliable sources, Wikipedia:Citing sources, Wikipedia:Attribution, WP:BLP, and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and WP:POV. Wikipedia policies and guidelines require full citations in articles on controversial subjects concerning living persons such as this one. See the links in the talk headers at the top of this page. See also Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines for further guidance. Thank you. --NYScholar 21:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Cheneysnotes.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
