Hoax or Allowable Rerun?

Thread,

I recently received an email from a couple of different correspondents with a very "feel good" message about America. Seemed that it was written on Thursday when it hit the Net. But this was not the case:

home-news.excite.ca

<Snip>Words of praise for the United States spoken nearly 30 years ago by a Canadian broadcaster flew around the Internet on Thursday, fooling but providing comfort for the many who thought it was penned in response to Tuesday's attacks by hijacked airliners.
An electronic version of "The Americans," which was originally broadcast by the late Canadian journalist Gordon Sinclair, was e-mailed under the guise of a recent editorial -- despite the fact Sinclair died in 1984 and wrote the script in 1973, toward the end of the Vietnam War.
<End Snip>

I'm wondering how others might feel about this, is it a reasonable re-run or a deceptive practice?

-Ray
