It's half an hour on the naughty step today for London's Metropolitan and City Police's Project Griffin [1] team for resorting to Wikipedia in the struggle to contain the anarchist menace.

In case you're wondering, Project Griffin is a collaborative effort "to familiarise managers, security officers and employees of large public and private sector organisations across the capital on security, counter-terrorism and crime prevention issues".

Naturally, it's always handy to know your enemy, especially when your "Beech [sic] Volleyball" event may be under threat from shouty, malodorous scruffs leading dogs on string.

That's a grab from the latest Griffin Briefing [2], and you're invited to peruse the Wikipedia entry on anarchism right here [3].

To save the Project Griffin anti-terror plods valuable time in future threat bulletins, we direct them to the Wikipedia entries on Taliban [4], al-Qaeda [5], photographers [6], Rebekah Brooks [7] and beach volleyball [8]. ®
