Why does your copy and paste versio...Al and Nick, <br /><br />Why does your copy and paste version of this article differ from the current article at the Washington Post? <br /><br />For example, these last two sentences in your item do not appear in the current WP article: <br />"Portraits of her son, smiling while visiting Iranian heritage sites with his family, appeared onscreen as tears ran down the mother’s cheeks. Other scientists in the audience covered their faces with surgical masks, afraid to be recognized and fall victim to the assassination campaign."<br /><br />Did the WP article at the time you copied it contain these two sentences? When I do a Yahoo! search on these sentences I find an exact match to two sites: Kresta In The Afternoon and a site with URL "theplumline.whorunsgov.com ... ." When I click on theplumline site I get the current Washington Post article, which does not contain the two sentences. <br /><br />I'm a bit bewildered by that. Maybe the Yahoo! search engine captured the original article and doesn't bother with updated versions. Maybe one of your fans can explain it to me. <br /><br />Anyway, you posted this item at 12:19 PM. The Washington Post article was updated at 12:30 PM. Did you copy an earlier version of the article, a version that contained sentences the current updated article does not have? <br /><br />If you copy a newspaper article that subsequently gets corrected, shouldn't you update your copy too? Or perhaps you could just give us the title of the article, a summary of it, a link to it, and let it go at that. That would also mean less space needlessly taken up on your blog.maumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250198272377329639noreply@blogger.com
