Talk:David Addington

NYT article on Comey
I was originally going to replace the original text with the following, to make clear that the NYT article is completely unsourced:

According to an unsourced New York Times report, Addington clashed with former Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey at a 2004 White House meeting on the NSA warrantless surveillance program. The Times reported the story as follows:

"At one testy 2004 White House meeting, when Mr. Comey stated that “no lawyer” would endorse Mr. Yoo’s justification for the N.S.A. program, Mr. Addington demurred, saying he was a lawyer and found it convincing. Mr. Comey shot back: “No good lawyer,” according to someone present."

On further reflection, however, I decided that if something is unsourced it is not worth citing in the main article text at all (akin to printing rumors). Therefore, I removed the quotation altogether. If a verifiable source can be article, it may be considered for inclusion -- but even then I would hesitate, as I don't think that a petty moment of name-calling is worthy of inclusion.

A great choice to replace Scooter since he has already been suggested as playing a role in the White House failure to cooperate in Congressional probes into pre-war intelligence handling. --JWSchmidt 21:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Duties
"As counsel to the Vice President, Addington's duties involved protecting the legal interests of the Office of the Vice President." I question the accuracy of this. I daresay that Addington's duties were to uphold the laws and support the Constitution of the United States, not to "protect the legal interests of the Office of the Vice-President."

Charges to be filed today?
Scott Horton reported yesterday that charges were to filed today against "The Bush Six". I figure the best way to cover this material would be to a single article that dealt with the charges in detail. I started to prepare a draft here. Comments to it are welcome at its talk page. I figured the articles about the six men should each have a relatively small section that sets the context for the charges for that particular man, and then refers readers to the main article, via see or main.
