Washington Post/ Miller paragraph

Sorry for removing the paragraph without prior discussion. My problem with it is that it looks more like a guide to sources than body content for the article. That Revolt parallels OT3 is already well established by the other sources. That Revolt is about Xenu massacring people 75 million years ago is already established by the other sources. Maybe it's worth moving the Gerry Armstrong statement to one of the other paragraphs, but I don't think this paragraph adds much to the article otherwise. I welcome other opinions.MartinPoulter (talk) 17:05, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should remain because it goes towards the fact that this direct comparison has been discussed in multiple secondary sources. (That's why I moved it to the Analysis subsection.) Cirt (talk) 17:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
