I believe the contributor above has misinterpreted what wikidocuments say about primary sources and original research. Primary sources are not proscribed. Contributors are merely warned to exercise greater care.
Here is the passage in question:
Q: What did you do before you fought al Qaida and the Taliban?
A: Before, I was mujahidin fighting against the Russians . I also went with the Americans into Iraq during the first Gulf War; our political group is called Mahazamili (ph). It is a central political group that fought Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf War; I helped you there, too. Whether it is known to you or not, there were six political parties or groups at that time fighting against the Russians, and we were the only party with close ties to the Americans . We took Americans everywhere and they were helping them. We got a bad name among the other parties because we were helping the Americans, and made a movie or film with them . The leader was Said Ghalani (ph). That was the only reason we had disputes with other parties, because we helped Americans.
I believe I did exercise sufficient care. I do not believe that any interpretation is required to paraphrase this testimony about traveling to participate on our side on the Gulf War. Geo Swan (talk) 03:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
