Talk:Kenneth Michael Trentadue

Additional FOIA requests rejected
"Trentadue said he is seeking more tapes along with a variety of bombing-related documents from the FBI and the CIA. An FOIA request by Trentadue for 26 CIA documents was rejected in June. A letter from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which reviewed the documents, said their release "could cause grave damage to our national security."

Additions to the lede
I recently removed new additions to the lede by User:MothballX. For two reasons: 1) because they essentially recapitulated information found elsewhere in the article, and, perhaps more importantly, 2) because it is speculation. The article talks about the speculation and theorizing regarding the circumstances around Trentadue's death, but it's just that: unsupported conspiracy theorizing. Not that I think it has no place in the article! But I think in general it is best to cleave to WP:LEDE, and let the facts speak for themselves. The lede should represent factual, verifiable information. Ford MF (talk) 05:00, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * According to WP:LEDE the lede is supposed to establish notability and provide a brief summary of the main points in the article. Prior to my additions it accomplished neither of these goals, now it does both. I have kept the intro NPOV. Everything I added to the introduction is supported by sources. Nothing there specifically says there was a conspiracy, just that some people believe there was and use the two other suicides as evidence of this. --MothballX (talk) 05:56, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
