[IMC-bristol] angry comment

[Dan Brickley]

A Google search on the first sentence of the b/g piece,
"A history of Greenham Common would not be complete without a look 
at the history of RAF" finds this document,
http://www.megspace.com/politics/greenham/extra_000001.htm
which does seem to support the accusation of plagarism (or at least, of 
careless quoting without including source citations).
The article is part of a larger site, 
http://www.megspace.com/politics/greenham/index.htm
on RAF Greenham Common. It also labels the photo that is linked from 
the IndyMedia site as 
"  Mark 82s (above) await action in 1986. Thanks to Terry Banfield. "

Ah I see now that http://bristol.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=4016
does link to the megspace.com site in the first paragraph, but without any
real explanation, and without noting that the bulk of the article has 
been copied from there.
