Addition out of history chrono order
He was extradited to the United States after having been found not-guilty of attempted murder by a Guyanese court due to having been brainwashed, and the charge of conspiracy was made as he could not be tried in the US for attempted murder.[1]
- Not sure if this was added in the right chrono order in history. Please discuss? -- Cirt (talk) 02:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Reference to Gabrielle Giffords
While I was looking for a history of assassinations against congressmen and congresswomen, I came across this: "He was the first member of Congress to have been killed in the line of duty, and the last until the assassination of Gabrielle Giffords in 2011." I had to remove the reference to Giffords. There are still mixed reports about her state with some sources saying she has died and with some others saying she is in surgery. Please wait until there are verified reports that she has indeed died. Thanks. 70.81.171.180 (talk) 20:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- You removed minutes after it was placed thank you for doing that. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem! I just do some minor edits sometimes, but I'll leave the rest of the situation to you guys. 70.81.171.180 (talk) 20:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

"Ryan was the first and only U.S. Member of Congress to have been killed in the line of duty."
While he was certainly the first, arguably Congressman Larry McDonald and Senator Robert F. Kennedy were also "killed in the line of duty". They are listed on United States members of Congress wounded or killed in the line of duty. Should this sentence be amended? The Celestial City (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- This is confirmed as per multiple WP:RS sources, cited directly after the factual info in the article. -- Cirt (talk) 13:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
