I'd have to check the individual sites, meself. I think that Snopes got involved because the text as quoted was working its way around the e-mail circuit. Regardless of where Mickey got that from, the facts about it can be found HERE . Incidentally, there are likely dozens of sites with that text, word for word, because "the reason history repeats itself is because historians repeat each other". However, it wasn't duplicitousness on Mickey's part. (Also, the link out-Snopes Snopes.)
