Lacking

edit

This article is exceptionally lacking in content, especially for a left-leaning Wikipedia... 76.121.112.195 (talk) 17:42, 1 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Honors and awards section reinserted

edit

Hello, all,

This section was originally included. I have no idea why the bot bounced it from the text, but I have reinserted it.

Note to future editors.

edit

Hello,

I have taken this article as far as I can comfortably contribute. I knew Secord's early career fairly well, so could give it pretty good coverage, but I have not delved deeply into Iran-Contra because I am not too familiar with the situation.

I feel Honored and Betrayed is too vague to serve well as a stand-alone source for Iran-Contra coverage. I do not have Out of Control, and have no opinion on its reliability or lack thereof. However, it may be the counterbalance to that autobiography. And, of course, there may be more books out there.

Because there is no cite connected with Out of Control, I have provisionally placed it under Further reading. If it proves a reliable source, and is used as such, it should move up under Reference.

Happy editing.
