Looking for people in Wikipedia who have been labeled with all sorts of pejoratives is fascinating.

Here is an interesting one:

Robert Crowley. Distinguished and decorated CIA officer, achieved the rank of "assistant director for clandestine operations".

Labeled by Wikipedia as a "conspiracy theorist, forger, and holocaust denier" after his death.

I wonder why?

Oh.

He told an investigative journalist the CIA assassinated the Prime Minister of India and their chief nuclear scientist in 1966 to prevent India from gaining nuclear power. The book came out after he passed away.

The article on Edward Griffin says the Creature from Jekyll Island advances debunked conspiracy theories, but fails to give any specific details like they do for other conspiracy theories he holds about cancer and aids

At this point, if a rebuttal says something like, "person X claims such and such, but eye witness Z claims other thing, and researcher Y says this thing", I take it as unsettled.

But when shady Wikipedia editors say, "debunked conspiracy theory" and nothing more than that, I assume its more likely that there is something true in there.
