Follow-up of crimes and alleged crimes; Decommissioning og military unit; him being reported to police and JAG; review by Auditor General

I question the reasons why the following info has been repeatedly removed from article,

"Criticism:

Follow-up of crimes and alleged crimes committed by Norwegian ISAF soldiers in Afghanistan:

The Judge Advocate General(krigsadvokaten) criticized Sunde in October 2010, as a result of Sunde's command's not having notified military police after claims had been made about war crimes possibly having been committed by Norwegian soldiers.^[1] (The only crimes which were acknowledged by soldiers, were a number of instances of spraypainting images of skulls (Totenkopf) onto buildings belonging to civillians — to show that Norwegian soldiers (of Telemark Battalion) were in charge of their area of operation in Afghanistan. The crimes involving spraypainting, have not been prosecuted by Norway as of 2011.)

Decommissioning og Home Guard unit HV-016:

The decommissioning of HV-016 led to criticism by Jan Reksten (a former Chief of Forsvarets operative hovedkvarter (FOH) and retired vice-admiral) — "It is Norway's parliament that decides on the [general] tasks and organization of Forsvaret. Therefore it is totally wrong for a government agency's chief to decommission a unit without consulting the parliament."^[2]

Verdens Gang wrote in December 2011, that the decommissioning has led to "massiv criticism".^[3]

Formal complaints against Sunde reported to police and JAG:

Former members of military unit HV-016 have filed complaints with Norwegian Police and with Judge Advocate General, against Sunde in 2011.^[4] Spokesman for Forsvarsledelsen, E.Kvarving, has acknowledged the existence of the formal complaints and declined to comment any further.^[5] The police dropped (henleggelse) the complaint later in 2011, and the appeal of that decision is being reviewed by the office of the District Attorney of Oslo (Oslo statsadvokatembete).^[6]

Review by Office of the Auditor General:

On December 12, 2011 media reported that the decommissioning of the unit will be investigated by the Office of the Auditor General.^[7] (3 years earlier, the same agency found "a lack of tracibility within the documentation for significant decisions" at the defence ministry.^[8])"

--85.165.229.124 (talk) 11:13, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Impartiality questioned by Norway's political leadership" being removed

I disagree on removing the following: "Impartiality questioned by Norway's political leadership: On 6 June 2013 then minister of defence was still waiting for an outcome of an evaluation of Sunde's questioned impartiality when Sunde participated^[9] in hiring the chief of Norwegian Special Operation Command^[10]—Karl Egil Hanevik.^[11] Sunde was best man at the wedding of Hanevik, and he is a godfather to one of Hanevik's children. On June 7 the defence ministry's juridiske avdeling found that the relationship between Sunde and Hanevik had not resulted in a lack of impartiality.^[12] Parliament's Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs is waiting for the defence minister's written report, before the committee will evaluate the need for action on its part.^[13]

In a 8 June 2013 newspaper editorial Trygve Hegnar said about Sunde that if one has such poor judgement, then one ought to step off [or resign].^[14]"
