Talk:Ali Soufan

I changed a subheading
The article had a subheading Ali Soufan -- which I changed to Ali Soufan. Yes, these captives ended up in Guantanamo, and yes, I believe Ali Soufan interrogated them. But I know some of those interrogations took place long before the captives were in military custody in Guantanamo. I don't know whether he interrogated ANY of these men were interrogated by Ali Soufan -- at Guantanamo.

We do know he testified at several of the suspect's military commissions.

Further, he just wrote an op-ed about al Nashiri's case. My heading change allows me to cover that op-ed in that section. Geo Swan (talk) 09:17, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Edit of last sentence
The final sentence of the current article contradicts itself:

''' Rodriguez disputed that al Nashiri was the bombing's mastermind—Rodriguez disputed that al Nashiri was intelligent enough to be a "mastermind". ' ''

I believe the second half of the sentence should likely begin "Soufan disputed ....", and the em-dash should be replaced with a semicolon.

Hello fellow JewWikipedians, Why doesnt it say in his bio, he was born in a Muslim family? His name is Ali. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.150.248.122 (talk) 21:51, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

The Looming Tower claim
"The Hulu miniseries, The Looming Tower, is based on Soufan's time in the FBI. He is portrayed by actor Tahar Rahim in the series.[23]"

This is quite misleading. The miniseries "The Looming Tower " is based on the book of the same name "The Looming Tower", by Lawrence Wright.

The idea that there is a character in the mini-series that is based on him is interesting, and should be here. They way it is described is awkward and confusing. If someone could re-write the sentence that would be excellent.
