Spot on, Brian Dell. I'm not going to get into an editing war here. One editor put the POV template on the page to bring attention to this sort of political back and forth. I think the lede is sort of ok now as it, thanks to Hasdi and others. Nitty gritty specifics don't belong in the lede. There is a paragraph on the political controversy; there are a great many details within the article to point educated readers to source materials so that a balanced person can follow the controversy.
