I've seen a fair number of PNAC/GCHQ trolls, as well as at least one paid by Paul Singer (who, sure enough, went away as soon as Singer got his payoff).

I understand Bibi has a lot of people paid to edit (mostly, edit-war) on Wikipedia, though since I stayed away from the Palestine controversy I never ran across them.

Wikipedia has no way to control these characters, so I don't blame them.

It's their inherent weakness: "anyone can edit" ends up meaning 'organized trolls get their way be basically ambushing anyone else'.

I find reviewing the revision histories and talk pages to be illuminating.

Since you can always review recent, and suspect, edits, it is a useful tool for identifying information which may not be well vetted.

Certainly, in this instance, the death toll was nowhere near 300. It turned out that the number was inflated by veteran's families seeking drink vouchers and flight coupons in compensation.

You should add that to the link!

Another Terminal 5 truther. Just what DU needs.

I think your tripe belongs over here with the "Ye Olde Loose Change" kinescope.

Where are the people who keep tabs on such things? Think of the children who will get the wrong info in their history papers! Oh wait, summer is here and school is out. Well as long as they fix it by the end of next month.
