Under "Last Voyage," whatever is the stub sentence fragment "Captain Turner had"? That needs to be fixed. PaulBurnett 00:12, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

Deliberate killing of helpless civilians is terrorism, and it horrified Americans (and Germany's allies) in 1915. I added the German captain's cold blooded account from his own war diary. RJJensen 12:04, 21 June 2009 (EDT)
- Yes, I agree with you that a German sub fired on a passenger steamer, but 1) the Lusitania was in a declared war zone; 2) Germany had information as to the possibility that the ship carried munitions, making her a legitimate war target; 3) those munitions were confirmed by the ship's manifest posted in period papers as well as by archaeology, which I've shown earlier. So, why are you removing that material? Karajou 12:09, 21 June 2009 (EDT)
