Plagiarism?

Clean Up/Sources/BLP tags

[edit]

Tagged due to problems mentioned in "Plagiarism?" comment above and obvious need for better documentation with reliable source and adherence to WP:BLP. This article was renamed and/or redirected from "John Rendon" to "Rendon Group," but it still concerns a living person and contains material related to his biography. All those external links tossed in by previous users need to be incorporated (if reliable sources) in the article as referenced citations ("Notes"). Previous format for references as "external links" throughout and in an "External links" section is not acceptable. All sources and statements identified as from them still need to be checked and verified. Notability and reliability of sources currently given only as external links need checking and evaluation. --NYScholar 00:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

He was connected with the Pentagon and CIA before Noriega. He denies that he is a national security strategist. He calls himself an "information warrior and a perception manager". Following the first Gulf War he was paid 23 million to drum up anti-Sadam propaganda. Rendon formed Chalabi's group, a counter group, at the request of and with financial aid from the CIA. Rendon flew people over to Baghdad and they staged the celebration of the US invasion. They were the ones standing around Sadam Hussein's statue in 2003.

I expect this post may be taken down due to it's factual reality.
