Reading the State Sponsored Terrorism article it seems that the amount of references the article uses is extremely high for such a comparatively short article. This can lead a reader to believe that too much information has diluted the message of the content and it may not be reliable. Alternatively, articles of this style incorporate information from many different countries and this may lead to the excess in references.

Also, reading the National Counterterrorism Center article, it is not made apparent unless the reader checks the references area that many of the source material comes from media, and non-peer reviewed articles. For an article about a government agency like this one, it would be very easy for conservative and liberal media outlets to bias and dilute their information and make it non-academic in nature. These are not the types of sources that should create the bulk of base for a page.
