Talk:Zachary Philip Katznelson

Do these quotes lapse from WP:NPOV?
I anticipate some contributors may think the following quotes lapse from WP:NPOV:
 * {| class="wikitable"


 * 1) "The interrogators at the time were clearly making it up as they went along. He {Aamer} didn't know what to make of it. He was absolutely terrified. He'd been abused and then he was left alone with a gun. You can't get more abusive than that."
 * 2) ''"You wouldn't make that offer to someone you thought was dangerous. It wouldn't make sense from a security perspective."
 * }
 * }

Personally, I disagree with Katznelson. I think waterboarding, for instance, would be more abusive than being left with a loaded gun. I also disagree with Katznelson as to whether a security agency would trust a spy who was cooperating under pressure. I don't think their attempt to recruit him as a spy established they trusted him, since they could bug his house, make him use a bugged cell phone, and tail him everywhere he went.

But Katznelson, quoted by The Guardian, is a WP:RS. So I don't think these quotations lapse from WP:NPOV.
