Wow. *That* seems pretty irresponsible on their part. We're no authority on the homeland security advisory system, and there's no guarantee that our statement there is true, and I notice our statement isn't sourced. They ought to have cited some primary sources if they're going to be basing a legal opinion on this.
Except of course that they of all people realise that primary sources written down in books are quite often biased and unreliable (meaning untrue). The fact that they quoted it means that they've done their homework (lawyers ALWAYS do their homework) and that this was not the first wikipedia article they have ever read.
Finally, how is wikipedia not a primary source? How do you know that the people who entered the information in the Wikipedia in the first place don't have personal knowledge of this? Maybe they do work for the Department of Homeland Security.
