Questioning the removal of an image

In this edit another contributor removed Image:CSRT notice read to a Guantanamo captive.jpg from this article with the edit summary: "rm - the prisoner in the image is not Mahmoud Omar Mohammed Bin Atef the subject of this BLP - no good reason given for the inclusion of this 'propaganda' image"

The caption of the image, when it was deleted was: "Combatant Status Review Tribunal notice read to a Guantanamo captive. During the period July 2004 through March 2005 a Combatant Status Review Tribunal was convened to make a determination whether they had been correctly classified as an "enemy combatant". Participation was optional. The Department of Defense reports that 317 of the 558 captives who remained in Guantanamo, in military custody, attended their Tribunals."

I don't agree that this should be considered a propaganda image. I believe I asked the contributor who made this excision to review our article on propaganda, which lists different characteristics of propaganda, and explain which characteristic(s) they thought applied in this particular case.

As to whether this is an image of the very important notice being read to this captive we don't know. But the caption doesn't state that it is being read to this particular captive.

The Combatant Status Review Tribunals were literally unprecedented. Neither the USA or any other nation had held one before. The DoD was forced to convene these unprecedented reviews by order of the United States Supreme Court. This notice was read to every captives in Guantanamo. It was one of the most important events in the these captives' detention. I think it is important. I think using this image of the notice being read to a captive adds to this article. I believe this image should be restored.

If it is restored should there be a discussion over revising the caption? Sure, why not? Geo Swan (talk) 21:44, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This topic is under discussion here where you just left a response to my explanation after ignoring the topic for a long time. I have responded there. You may avoid starting new discussion when you know that there is already a discussion about the same topic on another talk page. IQinn (talk) 10:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
