Specifically, the statement "implying that his real motivation in promoting DDT is to advance an anti-regulation agenda.[2]". I read the cited source, and the quote is there, but I don't see anything in the article that says anything about him promoting an anti-regulation agenda. While that may very well have been his intent, someone else has to say so in a reliable source before we can say such a thing here. There are several other similar statements in the article that appear to draw conclusions of their own. Wikipedia policies involving original research and biographies of living persons clearly state that this type of content is not acceptable. Beeblbrox (talk) 07:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
