Dear Sirs,

Recently there has been a person posting on an internet site who has a very strong political agenda.

One of his posting techniques is to take certain articles, editorials and speeches and change them slightly to fit his bias.

He most recently did this with the work of one of your columnists Martin Wolf.

This time he even added his own byline:

**The need for a new imperialism
**Israel is just one example of
**failed states that threaten world
**order. The only answer is active
**intervention by the west,
**writes Gustave Jaeger
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He then quotes the entire article changing the name of the country in it.

Here is the link to the plagiarization:
