Worth looking at this guy's CV. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/about-craig-murray/

He seems to be sound.

Obviously he chooses not to mention that he was fired in his CV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray#Removal_from_post

He has taken some (all I'll say is) differing views on various foreign policy matters, sound is probably pushing it considering he has been consistently contrarian without any evidence (and after more evidence has to light [1]) and consistently wrong.

[1] Most obvious would probably be his spat with Bellingcat over the identities of the Skripal poisoners. Other examples include pontificating about the DNC emails

He apparently was fired for speaking too plainly about Uzbekistan. Not sure that's a ding on the CV.

That's a rather dishonest point to make, because no one ever mentions in their CV why/how they left a position.

Furthermore, if you had actually read your own wikipedia article, you'd have know that he was forced to leave after he refused to be quiet on the government supporting a regime that tortured people and hushed that and extraordinary rendition up in order to appease their American buddies.
