[edit] Craig J. Spence

Delete. Is this for real? I cannot find any referral to this except on conspiracy websites. Article says it was reported in the Washington Post, but methinks it may have been some other tabloid publication. — Fingers-of-Pyrex June 30, 2005 13:13 (UTC)

• Comment. There is apparently some substance here although the date of the Washington Post article is incorrect. A search of the Washington Post archives for "craig spence" in 1989 turns up an article on Nov. 12, 1989 titled "Craig Spence, Figure in D.C. Sex Case, Found Dead in Boston" and other news coverage earlier in the year. (Search at [1].) Whether the allegations in the Craig J. Spence article are true is another matter. --Metropolitan90 June 30, 2005 14:13 (UTC)

I believe the Craig Spence story was "broken" in the Washington Times. This was also of interest as the Washington Times had always been a "conservative" paper. Many believe it was a way for Rev. Moon to get the attention of the Republicans in the White House at the time and gain support for the Unification Church.
