Richard Woolsey

Does anyone know if Richard Woolsey from stargate based on this guy? Someone brought it up on his discussion so I thought Id bring it up here so if it was it could be mentioned in this article if he was.Irate velociraptor 04:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they certainly look alike. 1ne 05:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory

This article states that Woolsey is a conservative Democrat, then goes on in the categories section to state that he's a neoconservative. Since he's a member of the Project for a New American Century, I really don't know either way what his political leanings are. 1ne 02:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It says he's been known primarily as a conservative democrat, not that he is one. --Golbez 03:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Being traditionally Democratic on social and economic issues but being hawkish on foreign policy doesn't make you a neocon...if that's what we use to decide if someone's a neocon or not, then Bill Clinton is one. 1ne 03:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, hm, true. Maybe his being in the Neocon cat is incorrect. --Golbez 03:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the "Neocon" category has been removed, I guess the article is not self-contradictory anymore?Biophys 21:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being a member of the Project for a New American Century means being neoconservative, no? Since the article provided no evidence for him being a general conservative, but did provide evidence that he's associated with a neoconservative organization and arguing for neoconservative positions, I changed "conservative" in the first sentence to "neoconservative". It would be very helpful to know more about his foreign policy positions and tenure as CIA director to judge this. Maybe the National Security Archive has more info about this?

Re: Deletion of "Criticism" section

Unless we're going to start listing generic "criticism" of every individual on Wikipedia, there's no reason Mr. Woolsey deserves special attention.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.208.39.250 (talk • contribs)

The criticism is well-sourced and notable. Do not remove it again. — goethean ॐ 21:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
