I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. My concerns are outlined below:
At over 14,000 words, WP:TOOBIG says that article is almost at a point where it should be divided or trimmed. I think there are lots of sections with too much, unencyclopedia or non-notable information that can be cut, such as the "Publications and appearances", "Job approval", and "Iraq invasion". Other sections, such as "Hobbies" and "Security incidents" can probably be cut or moved to other sections of the article.
There are a lot of sources listed in "Further reading". Can these be used as inline citations in the article, or should they be removed?
The lead, at five paragraphs, is longer than the recommended length at MOS:LEADLENGTH.
There are some uncited statements in the article, and other tags that need to be addressed.
