:::Maybe I'm in violation of WP:POINT, but the POINT is, the Eminem cite is about the '''only''' properly qualified cite from that article, and infact the ''ABC News'' article has deeply problematic vulnerabilities, nonetheleast of which is a question of [[journalistic ethics]] of ''both'' the authors and the editors of ''ABC News''. Yet that cite, and a few others, are already scattered throughout CP.  I'm not saying it can't be used, I am saying the ''ABC News'' article was used improperly, and the cite I made to it was factual and an improvement over what had been represented out of that cite.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 13:04, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

I am saying this ref. to Eminem is ridiculous. You list it among "commonly reported methods include:" and this is not common. That is why I am saying you are pushing your ignorance on people who may not know better. That is hard to describe as anything but propaganda, not just conservative bias. Do you see the difference? What if someone else included "reading the bible" as a common method of torture? Or, say, "playing Billy Graham real loud on a television set night and day?" All youe example does is push your personal agenda on the mistaken belief that it represents a common method of torture. [[User:Flippin|Flippin]] 13:14, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
