Linda Ronstadt is a <a href="http://lasa.international.pitt.edu/members/congress-papers/lasa2009/files/AtwoodRoger.pdf" rel="nofollow">first cousin once removed</a>, a.k.a. first cousin first removed, of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roque_Dalton" rel="nofollow"> Roque Dalton</a>. Roque Dalton was a Salvadorean poet and guerrilla leader who was killed in a power struggle in 1975. <br /><br />The Wikipedia article on Roque Dalton is also a prime example of Wikipedia’s leftie bias. The article states that Dalton was accused of being a CIA agent before his fellow guerrillas killed him. Standard operating procedure. The article then goes on to state the following.<br /><br /><i>The reason was that many things he was privy to were subsequently known by the government, and by implication the CIA.</i><br /><br />There is no citation for that statement. [no, a general link to the CIA doesn’t count as citation.]<br /><br /><br />Nor is there any citation for the following statement.<br /><br /><i>It is commonly suggested.[citation needed] that someone Roque knew, and confided in, was an "oreja" (ear, or CIA spy/informant) and this is how confidential information was being discovered. Both the FPL and ERP were founding organizations of a united guerrilla front known as FMLN.</i><br /><br />Wikipedia has its uses, but for controversial issues it must be used with great skepticism.
