FBI gets punked by Wikipedia

[finnbow]

The FBI sent a threatening letter to Wikipedia telling it to remove the bureau's logo from Wikipedia. In response, Wikipedia's General Counsel responds in a manner that seems to shame the bureau. Pretty cool, methinks.

You know, it's pretty sad when the EffaBeEye can't even deal with Wiki.

In the old days, they would have sent Lon Horiuchi.

I tip my hat to Mr. Godwin. Quite the civilized execution.
