The author(s) of Check link or content make(s) the following claim:
Innuendo about death of Wakara from pneumonia "but perhaps from poison."
FAIR's Response
- "Another troubling tendency of Bagley’s is his habit of almost—but not quite—accusing Mormondom of criminal acts for which there can be no answer because no real facts are given. Federal officials “died mysteriously” (39), and Wakara died “probably of pneumonia but perhaps from poison,” all following conflicts with Mormons (33)." [1]
