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.
