While it is safe to say that Web 2.0 has infiltrated the intelligence field, here is an interesting article from counterterrorismblog.org about how judges are turning to Wikipedia to help them in forming their judicial opinions.

If you are so inclined, the post links to a 13 page report from the NEFA Foundation entitled "The Wikipediazation of the American Judiciary" It mainly raises and attempts to answer the question of whether or not this is a dangerous practice in our court system.
