[edit] Sourced information.
Sourced information is just that. Information which has a credible source. The information provided in this article by a former Communist government intelligent agent is a credible source. He was in a position to know information that non-communists and regular people wouldn't. This person has no reason to lie and it fits with the other events and historical facts that have come to light during the period of when these incidents happened. To remove this sourced information is wrong. But to remove sourced information and add unsourced information is ludicrous. Please stop removing information that you don't like.

- The references to the anti-Hochhuth article of Ion Mihai Pacepa („National Review“, Jan. 25, 2007) and the allegations that "'The Deputy' was part of the Soviet plan to defame Pope Pius XII" should be reconsidered. A deletion of this sparsely reliable source would be reasonable. German conservative historian Thomas Brechenmacher (not anticlerical and far from being a Hochhuth-apologist) strongly challenges the plausibility of Pacepa in the foremost German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ("Hochhuths Quellen. War der 'Stellvertreter' vom KGB inspiriert?", in: F.A.Z., April 26, 2007) with reference to numerous „inconsistencies“ (the files on Pius XII. were still treasured in the Vatican’s state secretariat in 1960, Casaroli still played a subaltern role at that time and could hardly have given Romanian spymasters insight into these documents, Hochhuth’s documentary appendix “Historical Sidelights” goes back on sources „that were available in print at that time”, etc.).--Diggindeeper 13:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
