INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE WITH A LATERAL SEACH

1. How does Wikipedia describe this group?
    
2. Does that seem to match how the group presents themselves on their website?
    
3. Now that you have additional information from this "lateral search" about the group (from the Wikipedia article), how would you describe the credibility of this resource?
    
4. Extra, if time: What professional group might we look to for a similar resource that would be more credible?
