 removing content from lede 

as requested i am detailing why i am removing some content from the lede.

the first part:""Culture of fear is a term used by certain scholars, journalists and politicians who believe that some people in public life incite fear in the general public to achieve political and other ends. Examples of terms that engender such fears are becoming common but have existed before. Islamic terrorism, socialized medicine, and yellow peril are examples of phrases used in the media and by politicians which, it is claimed are or were intended to frighten people. Some claim that the 2001 Anthrax attacks, which were never fully resolved as to cause, created a climate of fear in the U.S. and elsewhere which politicians exploited to make it easier to sway public opinion in favor of the invasion of Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq""the ref used to support this content is an op-ed, besides the fact that it only discusses the ""anthrax"" information. it doesn't support the broad assertion that ""Culture of fear is a term used by certain scholars, journalists and politicians..."" which politicians, journalists and scholars? such assertions must be independently supported by refs, otherwise this constitutes WP:OR.the second part:""Some allege that people and groups spread fear for profit.""this is not supported by the ref. if its inclusion is desired, may i suggest an attribution to who is making such allegations be specified and supported by a ref.restoring the previous lede.
