Statement of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf

This content belongs on Wikisource not on WP, seems to blatant POV pushing. Is there a speedy cat for this? ukexpat (talk) 16:21, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:COPYVIO db-g12?  (I didn't check.)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 17:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - if it's from a US government source then probably not covered by copyright, but I have not checked either. – ukexpat (talk) 17:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if it is from a government source, Schwarzkopf's comments might be copyrighted by Schwarzkopf; at least some appeared to be personal positions, not positions as a General. Just because the document as a whole (whatever it is) is not copyrighted doesn't mean that the excerpts aren't.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 18:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Move to wikisource. Comment: if this is from a gov't source, then the comments are PD.  AK Radecki Speaketh  18:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, not. If produced by the US government, it would be PD.  (Federal) court testimony is not PD.  Congressional hearing testimony is not PD.  But there's a plausible assertion of PD, so the db-g12 template was wrong; at least until we can find the actual source.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 18:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Statement of Mandsford--- Delete No context whatsoever, nor any clue as to why a retired General's opinions about "Don't ask, don't tell" need to be set in stone.  Mandsford (talk) 20:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
