The FBI puts most of its released FOIA material online; much more is held by places like the National Security Archive and, again, accessible to the public. Wouldn't this class as publication by a reputable source?
Oh, I didn't know that. Yes, then, it would.
It's a big thing now.
Bear in mind that the author, the FBI or whoever, is inherently a citable source - they're the government. All you need to do is make sure that the material is available to people who aren't you; indeed, I'd argue that hosting it on your own website is fine as long as it's not in serious doubt the original publisher was the FBI.
