Talk:Oliver North

Shouldn't there be links to other works? This has been edited several times but no one could be bothered?

"North became a popular fixture in American culture based upon his handling of the Congressional inquiry, and his ability to make the committee that was questioning him seem smug and overblown in the eyes of the American people."

Really? I would kill for a cite on that.

Why? If you followed it at the time and saw it live along with the media coverage, then a cite would be a step down. Or are you one of those people who believe if you don't find it written on the internet then it didn't occur? Learn together 14:20, 15 December 2007 (EST)

Hmmm, What if you didn't follow it at the time? Philip J. Rayment 01:24, 16 December 2007 (EST)

It depends upon the level of the sincerity of the person making the comment. If someone is truly curious to know the truth, I could go into much greater detail in email and I would imagine there are probably some websites that could recount what occurred. I find the best sources are those who watched it live, and I would imagine anyone seeking to know for themselves would at least seek out that information as well.

There's also something else, and LT highlighted it. The user may be dependent on the internet only for his info; there's no attempt on his part to hit the books from a local library. That's a fact with meny wiki editors these days. Karajou 03:17, 16 December 2007 (EST)

Except that if you are talking about Petter99, he wasn't the editor. Philip J. Rayment 06:44, 16 December 2007 (EST)
