atw: Be careful with those cut-and-paste jobs [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]


At 20:31 on August 8, 2007, the online edition of China Daily posted an
article titled: "China invites the world to Olympics" on its website.
The following sentence appeared:
"Security was tight around Tiananmen Square, where troops crushed
pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989 with huge loss of life, as crowds
gathered for the celebrations.".

   This came about because someone did a copy-and-paste job from Reuters'
   Nick Mulvenney (dated 19:54 on the same evening) without checking the
   content.
   Within 12 hours, a revised version was posted.
