Introduction paragraph

is poorly written and needs to be reworked entirely — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.43.246 ( talk) 22:02, 19 June 2017 (UTC) reply

I have to agree there are some issues with the first para. Enemy Combatant has different definitions and it isn't clear from the rest of the related sentence which meaning applies here. It is presumably clear to those who already know something of the case. JDE 94.126.214.6 ( talk) 07:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Opening improvement

First of all, the opening paragraph needs to make clear that he was captured /by US forces/, and also state what he was charged with.

Second of all, what are Wikipedia's policies on using the preferred names of individuals? 69.113.166.178 ( talk) 05:24, 2 September 2020 (UTC) reply
