Dear RobS,
I am not disagree with material you wrote. At the same time, I really don't understand the first paragraph plus I think you need to cite your sources and elaborate more on how Brandt/Berlet were feuding.
Here is the first paragraph that I don't understand:
"An ugly sectarian dispute between two far leftist writers reared its head in Wikipedia in 2005 and continues to plague the project. The feud had been dormant, yet unresolved, until the necessity to elevate a “controversial expert” above the level of “partisan and extreme,” which would have precluded using the so-called “expert” as "a source for anything other than himself,” as Wikipedia's ever fluid policies dictate."
Secondly, I don't really see how Berlet and Brandt are feuding here:
"Chip Berlet built a career writing in various far-left revolutionary publications, including Guardian, founded by KGB agent Cedric Belfrage, and whose writers included Wilfred Burchett who introduce Ho Chi Minh to American readers, assisted in extracting confessions from Korean War POWs, spread disinformation in its pages about American use of germ warfare which Soviet Archives now conclusively have shown was a lie manufactured in the Kremlin. Berlet at one time served on Daniel Brandt’s Public Information Research board of advisers, but Berlet's extreme leftism demands ideological purity from its followers, and Berlet demanded removal of Fletcher Prouty from the Board. Prouty, a former Air Force colonel, was allegorically portrayed as “Man X” in the Oliver Stone film JFK, and Berlet considered him a fascist."
Lastly, as I stated earlier you need to cite your sources. I hope you don't mind the constructive remarks I am making here but I think you need to make things clearer plus give your readers some assistance via sources. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 17:37, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
