Bush was asked to approve a tough interrogation technique known as waterboarding on September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he wasted little time in deciding.  \u201cDamn right,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, you see where it has the authors name and &#8220;Reuters&#8221;?  Yeah, that wasn&#8217;t there before.  In fact, it not only didn&#8217;t cite that as a source, but in fact claimed that this &#8220;Johnny Punish&#8221; guy was the author.  So, I left a comment:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Does simply stealing an entire article from Reuters without either attribution or a link back bother you guys at all?  I mean, do you just ignore copyright law and the intellectual property of others so as to reap advertising money?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That isn&#8217;t the exact quote, because like VoteVets with Jonn, Veterans Today simply deleted my comment entirely and threw in a link.  So, I started looking around.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2010\/11\/03\/us-and-israel-blinded-by-the-right\/\">Like this article here:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m not a witch\u2026 I\u2019m you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With these words, Delaware Senate candidate Christine O\u2019Donnell attempted to convince voters that despite admitting to have dabbled in witchcraft and holding many extreme views, her values and views are closer to those of her state\u2019s voters than those of the \u201cWashington elite,\u201d represented by her opponent, Chris Coons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/english.aljazeera.net\/indepth\/opinion\/2010\/10\/20101021112057692436.html\">That article is stolen in toto from Al Jazeera.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2010\/11\/04\/apa-president-advises-against-new-body-scanners\/\">How about this one?<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Allied Pilots Association president Dave Bates is suggesting that pilots go through a pat-down search by Transportation Security Administration personnel rather undergo the repeated radiation from the \u201cadvanced imaging technology\u201d body scanners used at many airports.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean he likes the pat-downs, which can include hand-sliding over the groin and buttocks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I would guess that Veterans Today authors do wile away the day dreaming of having TSA hands slipped over their groin and buttocks, that was written by a <a href=\"http:\/\/aviationblog.dallasnews.com\/archives\/allied-pilots-association\/\">Dallas Morning News blogger<\/a>, and then taken in toto to reappear at Veterans Today.<\/p>\n<p>It seems the only one who produces original material is Duff, who is a) completely insane, and b) the worst photo shop artist in the history of mankind.
