It saddens me that a wonderful resource has had its credibility tarnished to this degree. Wikipedia itself addresses the issue at length. My understanding is that, when fraudulent information gets into the articles, it is quickly corrected, and that overall crediblility is generally as good as any other encyclopedia. The biggest problem is not the inclusion of fraudulent information, but rather the "scrubbing" of unflattering information by interested parties.

Of course, any encyclopdia should not be used as a primary source, as with any encyclopedia. It is always preferable to to go to the sources that the article authors use and evaluate them. Is it worth the trouble on a trivial isssue? In this regard, Wikipedia does a pretty good job in citing these primary sources. If there is no primary source, Wiki tells you that.

This is another example of unscrupulous people mis-using a potentially good resource and spoiling it for everybody else.

I thought so.

Who killed this wonderful thread?

Jeannie when you won the argument it was over

(Mission Accompished)

Except of course Bush is still walking around like he is innocent.

Oh goody.

I won! I won! I won!!

so is obama...

But she never won the argument if there was even an arguement. She said the same thing and walked around any questions I asked or statements I made.

They were foolish statements and not worthy of a responce.

(I say she won and it was blowout)

LOL...and you are who?

haha another lib...they pat each others back all the time...

Please explain the foolishness? If going to war under false pretenses is a crime then why isn't an military attack without congressional approval not a criminal act?

I won! I won! I won!!

They do that all the time. Its called "Black Ops." Probably funded by the CIA, which by the way seems to be above the law as it is owned and controlled by THE COMPANY.

Since this kind of operation is above top secret they can't leak it to the congress for approval. Apparently you didn't read the fine print.

Some of these operations are so top secret the President himself is not privy to them. How can that be you ask? Because THE COMPANY owns the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the President is simply the president of the corporation. He works for THE CORPORATION.

The problem with this statement is black ops is no claim of responsibility. Since we said "hey we did it" its not really black ops. From my understanding of the term anyway.

Ok so you are arguing that its not illegal thus neither are criminals ok.

I am not arguing. I am telling you that these people, being "above the law" can't be breaking it.... because it apparently does not apply to them. They are above it, outside it, exempt from it. There is no one to enforce the law upon them.

Also, if Osama Bin Laden had NOT been in that house and they had killed someone else by mistake you would have never heard about it. BLACK OPS.

don't forget entering another country ILLEGALLY, and the running an ILLEGAL military operation inside that foreign country, then murdering a man in cold blood, right in front of his family... thats the democrats we know and love so much, It's always been a "don't do as i do, do as i say" type deal with them...

I think it is astonishing that when Obama haters are praising the killing of Osama Bin Laden they want to give all the glorious "credit" to the republicans and the Bush administration, BUT when people are condemning the killing of Osama Bin Laden they want to place the "blame" on Obama and the democrats.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND if the killing of Osama was a good thing or a bad thing.

the only thing i can say to that is "if bush was in charge right now, and the events unfolded the same exact way, what do you think the libs would be screeching right now"? would they be praising him like they are barry?...all of you people screeching about trowing bush in jail, but don't want to look at the realness of it... yes, i'm glad he's dead, and obama leadership probably helped it out... but in reality, he broke more laws and personal freedoms than bush did, and you people are blinded by these facts

I think it depends on what progrm they are watching.
