At least in the case of contemporary, political matters:
For example, "some people regard the situation in Iraq as a guerrilla war" can be replaced with "Army Gen. John P. Abizaid said that forces in Iraq were 'conducting what I would describe as a classical guerrilla-type campaign against us.'"
I agree with the idea but also want to point out that we must be careful not to imply that Abizaid is the only person that feels this way. Ultimately, each situation is slightly different and must be handled differently, but "some people" or "many people" is too vague -- being too specific can also be a problem.
