Hello,

Yesterday an article[1] was published on 24heuresinfo.com that mentioned
leaked cables from WikiLeaks. The cable mentioned revelations by
ex-Director of the Mauritius Customs Service.

Something intrigued me about the article. The following line states that
the item was published on "Thursday".

« Paru jeudi sur le portail dénonciateur... »

That's wrong. I only wrote about the cable on Thursday but the same was
published on WikiLeaks years ago. It seems to me the journalist went
through my blog article[2] a bit in a rush :-) Oh by the way, we need to
improve the culture of citing sources and giving credit where due.
