i second that. article needs dates and info as in from where was this article info recieved.——Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.77.254 (talk • contribs) 2005 November 28, 00:23

Agreed. It also needs to be checked for neutral point of view. I'm not fond of torture or "death in custody" situations, personally, and this is sickening to me. Still, Wikipedia isn't a forum for personal viewpoints. The phrasing of statements regarding the "bright and eager" CIA case officer involved seems biased to me. Anyone else feel the same way?

P.S.: Hyperlinks need to be added to that same section. I'm not touching that until this is resolved, though.Moonsword 02:13, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Both the Washington Post and the Bostom Globe quoted colleagues of the CIA officers using the phrase "bright and eager" while describing him.

The article does have an external links section. You realize that if you felt the wikipedia article was insufficiently detailed you could have read the external links? And, if you were so inclined, you could have added those details yourself. -- Geo Swan 03:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

It's not the "bright and eager" part I'm referring to. That part was cited for clarity on what I was referencing, not the characterization itself. Bad writing on my part. Sorry.I didn't take a close enough look at the links and (mistakenly) thought they didn't refer to that section. The request for hyperlinks was meant for references inside Wikipedia, btw. Anyway, I'm looking up the details now to edit the page. -- Moonsword 15:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I've changed that section and edited it extensively as well as getting more sources. Better? -- Moonsword 16:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Anon has a concern about the satellite photo

I thought the Satellite picture was great but it has been DOCTORED UP EVER SO SLIGHTLY!!! Props to whomever did it though because it provides subtle details that make you want to conclude its legit. Look closely, or blow it up on your desktop wall paper as I have. Just below the third building (which looks like the landscape and could possibly be an underground structure there) there are a series of parallel stripes that were added to soften the landscape as if there were mysterious tire tracks and such through the hard-packed dirt landscape.——Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.32.217.190 (talk • contribs) , 2007 April 17, 02:20

Reason for the name change?

I think the name change, from "the salt pit" to plain old "salt pit", was a mistake. I am going to ask the person who made the change to provide an explanation here. If they don't, or if others join me in agreeing it is a mistake, I am going to request a restoration of the original name.

Cheers! -- Geo Swan 01:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

@Geo Swan: I just found this article since I came across testimony about this place. I completely agree about the name as it could easily be misinterpreted as an article about entities similar to salt mines. Anyway, just wanted to know if you had any luck with the above. Curious if someone provided resistance, a good reason for this, or you moved onto other things (totally reasonable). Diablanco (talk) 02:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

fix references -- see talk

It is essential that references include the title, author, publisher, date published -- because links go dead.

If the person who placed the reference doesn't include the title, author, publisher and date published, they make it impossible for later editors to search for mirrors, or similar articles that could serve as a replacement.

The references here once did include author, publisher and date published. Someone stripped that information, for some reason. Please don't do that!

Several of the links pointed to the same 2005/3/5 article by Dana Priest, but in two different publications. That was a mistake.

Please always include the title, author, publisher and date published.

Sections

I changed the section format but was wondering how the November date applied? It says October 29 and he was dead the next day? Did I miss something? Cleanelephant (talk) 21:06, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

There hasn't been an update to the date confusion yet on this article. The dates are made clear in the main article of Gul Rahman. Updating it here as well. Tunkki-1970 (talk) 12:47, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Merge

Dark prison should be merged into this article! After the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report it is clear that this the same site.Olegwiki (talk) 22:10, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

"In the winter of 2005, the Salt Pit became known .."

"In the winter of 2005, the Salt Pit became known to the general public because of two incidents. In 2011..." This is not clear. What two incidents? This could be rewritten for clarity. GangofOne (talk) 22:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
