All,

  Seems that Wikipedia again has shown that it cannot control it's
content as to accuracy.  Seems this yet again shows that Wikipedia as a
reference source is next to worthless.  Appears to be more of a
propaganda
propagator from where I sit.

  As some in ICANN seem to believe that Wikipedia is a creditable
reference source, one has to wonder about that sort of judgment
seriously.

As The Inquirer points out, someone with a House of
Representatives IP address has been feeding propaganda into the
'invasion of Iraq' article on Wikipedia." Well at least they are 
in good company with trustworthy institutions like the CIA and the
Vatican. [ gotta love the sarcasm here ] >:)
