Talk:Layla Al-Attar

This page requires immediate editing for uncited, inflammatory statements
Is there any proof for this article's statements that the Clinton administration targeted Al-Attar intentionally in retaliation for a George Bush mural?

According to Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, (ISBN: 1-59420-007-6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Wars), Al-Attar's house was struck by accident and her death disturbed Clinton deeply, leading him to second-guess other missile strikes later on.

This inflammatory and unsourced statement should be removed immediately. I will do so unless a citation can be found and posted to the page. Editors, please advise.

I found out what happened to her daughter, but can we use this source?
Her daughter's name is Rema and aid workers saved her life. She eventually came to the Canada & USA for facial reconstruction surgery and now lives in the Bay Area. However, since so few English language sources exist on the deaths of Al-Attar and the wounding of her daughter, the only sources we have to rely on are anti-war sites or sites that some editors might believe are one-sided or too POV. This article may not be entirely even-handed but it has some real facts about the case that other editors might be able to cross-reference. Can we use it at least to name the daughter and describe the aftermath? I'd like some input. I became interested due to Kris Kristofferson's song about her. Here is the article: Losing Sleep Over Layla Al-Attar (And Countless Thousands Of Other Dead Iraqis) Thanks. LiPollis (talk) 18:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
