Wikipedia has the intent of providing information for use - you can copy-paste and use it at will, including images. (I'm not recommending blind use of Wikipedia material, just stating Wikipedia's own intended use.) Attribution is not required. Further, Wikipedia editors are required to use external sources for their material meaning that it all came from somewhere else to begin with. The best thing for Wikipedia to claim is that McCain agrees with them. But I'm not sure I see that possibility in the attitude of the authors. A little biased maybe.

While much of it can be user edited, the whole process of editing has become much more like a political process, like the scrubbing of Paulins data before the republican national convention.
