Imagine that. They rewrote the headline and the article but kept the same URL. This is a good example of why FR wanted to be able to post full text versions of articles.

As upchuck noted, Google News and the Canadian Press (aka the AP) have rewritten the headline and article but have kept the same URL. At least we’ve got this excerpt of the original for the record.

And now that we have to excerpt most articles, there's a bunch of FReepers too lazy to even excerpt the article. They just post the first two or three sentences. Sucks.
