IANAL but AFAIK the Internet falls under federal jurisdiction because it involves the trafficking of information across state lines.

The two legal complexities which make it hard for me to really think this through are: 1. Is Wikipedia subject to US classification laws (Espionage Act, Atomic Energy Act)? I don't know where Wikipedia is located or how the courts view "location" in terms of the internet, but if it is in any NATO country I'm betting it is subject to them in some way (just a hunch). 2. Is Wikipedia any different from any other "publication"? Does its dynamic editing make it take on the responsibilities of its users? I suspect that a court would hold Jimbo accountable for anything written on Wikipedia, whatever his official disclaimer statement says. But I don't really know that for sure.
