[edit] Copying?

I just noticed that the paragraph about membership for the NSC is copied word for word from the White House page on the NSC. Is this allowed? -Krawnight 18:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone say? -Krawnight 23:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


This is what the Wiki page says:

The White House National Security Council (NSC) in the United States is the principal forum used by the President of the United States for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his senior national security advisors and cabinet officials and is part of the Executive Office of the President. Since its inception under President Harry Truman, the function of the Council has been to advise and assist the President on national security and foreign policies. The Council also serves as the President's principal arm for coordinating these policies among various government agencies. The United States NSC has counterparts in many other countries' National Security Councils.

This is taken from the official White House page (http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/)
