i'm providing official government data accurate as of May 31, 2009, and you are providing wikipedia charts from june 2008. I'm sure that information is accurate, however, it is dated, and you are reading the chart improperly.
did you even bother reading the part about "intergovernmental holdings?" that includes social security and other agencies, not just the fed. The fed's component of that is 1.1 trillion (more clearly stated, of that 4.6 something trillion, the fed now owns 1.1 trillion). The social security administration owns 2.2 trillion of US government debt, more than the fed. the link i provided spells all of that out, and it even confirms your pretty charts.
come on dude - it's not that difficult to read charts.
