:::: "It was clear to Strauss that there must have been someone else at Los Alamos during the war passing secrets, besides Klaus Fuchs. And indeed there was: a young physicist named Theodore Hall, an American physicist. But Strauss didn't know about Hall at that point, and he thought it must have been Oppenheimer."

:'''REPLY:''' Observations of lack of accomplishment do not need a citation.  For example, "Bill Clinton did not advance the field of physics."  No citation is possible or necessary for that.  Ditto for similar observations about Oppenheimer on this content page.

: By the way, the editors at Wikipedia misunderstand and misuse citations.  It adds nothing to cite the opinion of a journalist, for example.  That's not an authority in any meaningful sense, and the journalist would be the first to admit it.  Yet most citations on Wikipedia, including its entry about Conservapedia, are to journalist opinions.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:12, 5 March 2007 (EST)
