re the relevance of your Seigenthaler bio analogy, I don't see how anything related to Katyn in this article might libel the subject of this article, George Earle. If anyone would protest, I would think it would be FDR, and there is no general obligation to present a US President in a certain light. But, of course, accuracy is still important regardless, and on that point I am not aware of any reason why https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/winter99-00/art6.html should not be considered a valid source. It's a footnoted academic paper. I would also refer you to page 6 of the Final Report of the House "Select Committee to Study the Facts, Evidence, and Circumstances on the Katyn Forest Massacre" (Dec 22, 1952):
When in 1944, former Ambassador George Howard Earle, who served as a special emissary for President Roosevelt in the Balkans, tried to convince Mr. Roosevelt that the Soviets were guilty of the Katyn massacre, the President dismissed the suggestion.
Testifying before this committee that he based his statement to the President on secret documents and photographs of Katyn clearly establishing Soviet guilt, Mr. Earle quoted the President as replying:
"George, this is entirely German propaganda and a German plot. I am absolutely convinced the Russians did not do this."
It becomes apparent to this committee that the President and the State Department ignored numerous documents from Ambassador Stanley, Ambassador Biddle, and Ambassador Winant, American emissary to London, who reported information which strongly pointed to Soviet perfidy.Bdell555 (talk) 03:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
