Talk:Nye Committee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second paragraph seems at odds with the actual Nye Report. Without any accusation of npov or the like I think it would be good to:
- find a better source for the Nye Report
- find some minutes from the comittee sessions
- expand the article so a better "conclusion" can be drawn

I corrected the false info that stated the Nye Committee did not find fault with the arms industry. Source for the correction: Women for Peace by Marlene Targ Brill (1997).
[edit] Citations Needed
This article should report the conclusions of others on this controversial topic and needs expanding, especially with citations.
There are two aspects to the enquiry. 1) was the arms industry corrupt 2) did the arms industry influence the American entry into the 2nd World War.
On the first www.mtholyoke.edu says 'American munitions companies investigated have at times resorted to such unusual approaches, questionable favors and commissions, and methods of "doing the needful" as to constitute, in effect, a form of bribery of foreign governmental officials or of their close friends in order to secure business'.
On the latter www.senate.gov] says "Committee members found little hard evidence of an active conspiracy among arms makers".
It would be also good to find another source for the Nye Report.PeterGrecian 13:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
