Bug description:
The functionality for denying an object to be deleted and informing a user about it is overridden when the user doesn't have privileges to delete it. This leads to the "not sufficient authorities" page content being sent through XML to the div which displays the "object cannot be deleted because of associated objects", resulting in weird output.

To replicate this create and log in with a user that cannot delete indicator types. Then try to delete an indicator type that has indicators associated with it.

In this case, the error message (not sufficient authorities) should be sent directly to the feedback area instead of the "cannot delete because..." message, ie. no xml parsing should take place.

The solution should be centralized. All delete methods must be examined.
