Er, I think you meant copyright:-) FYI, it's pefectly acceptable to quote short passages verbatim from other people's writing in order to comment on them (or, as in this case, to invite comment on them). This is called "fair use." What's not legal or moral is pass off other people's writing as your own, or use huge chunks of it to pad out your own spindly work. In this case, it might be best to quote exactly, out of fairness to your source, so that what they said is accurately represented, and not, however unintentionally, twisted. That way, the pundits on our list can respond to what they actually said, and not what someone thought they said... And now, let the U-hull debate begin...
