Considering the word Allah appears in English dictionaries, it would be a fine editorial choice to leave the word Allah as it is. Furthermore, in editing transcriptions, it would be appropriate to include foreign language, so the reader can understand when English was spoken, and the moments when another language was spoken. The editor can choose to display the foreign language in a subtitle form, or perhaps the English translation in the same way.
Anyone want to argue with me? Bring it. -Proofreader, editor, and hobbyist transcriber. |
Btw. Whoever at the fbi did this. You are either inexperienced or deserve to be fired. |
Amen to this!!! |
He was told to do it. Do you really think this isn't a top-level directive? |
Hi, it's me. No I don't think that he or she did this themselves. Whoever is ultimately responsible, top or mid level, is not conforming to basic standards when it comes to transcription..and for obvious political reasons. |
| Whomever is responsible also threw his AG under the bus today too |
I've got to admit, Lynch did a bad job selling the redaction. She could've used several arguments that would have sounded better than what she actually said. Totally failed to sell it. |
I'm the PP and fully agree. |
| It's like they think we are all stupid! |
Well, remember what Jonathan Gruber said........ They were able to pass the ACA thanks to the stupidity of the American people. So, yes, they do believe we are all stupid. |
Yep. That is evident in every speech Obama gives as well. The arrogance with this administration is absolutely astounding! A really good article involving this very subject: http://thefederalist.com/2016/06/20/obama-admin-deletes-isis-references-from-orlando-911-calls/ |

Well then you would not know what the rest of the sentence said, because it's in Arabic. |
49 dead people. 50+ injured. Go ask those lying in hospital beds about paranoia. Go ask the families of the dead. Your 'statistics' about the likelihood of being involved in a terror attack are meaningless to these individuals, as is your insistence the Islam is a peaceful religion. They're not feeling it right now, ya dig? |

“Redact” is merely a euphemism for censor.
They censored the transcript. Probably to further their narrative. This was a huge screw up by this administration. Did Lynch make the decision to censor? Obama? Who knows. But, I have little doubt that Comey or another official in the FBI insisted that they issue the uncensored version. I bet the FBI wanted it uncensored in the first place, but were overruled by someone higher up. |
