FBI tries to order Wikipedia to remove its seal from wiki entry
The FBI is upset that Wikipedia included it's seal on its online encyclopedia entry:
(CNN) -- The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has threatened Wikipedia with legal action if the online encyclopedia doesn't remove the FBI's seal from its site.The seal is featured in an encyclopedia entry about the FBI.
Wikipedia isn't backing down, however. The online encyclopedia -- which is run by a nonprofit group and is edited by the public -- sent a chiding letter to the FBI, explaining why, in its view, the FBI is off its legal rocker.
It makes sense for an online encyclopedia to include an agency's official seal along with the other information about the agency. In case anyone was wondering what this top secret government seal looks like:
H/T Popehat, Bennett, Greenfield, Gideon, Gamso, Coleman, and Windypundit .
