A Media Oddity

Via the Angry Arab, a piece in the Belfast Telegraph with a publishing date of Monday, 10 January 2011 and with recent comments is headlined:

"US forced to import bullets from Israel as troops use 250,000 for every rebel killed"

Hmm ... I have read such some time ago ...

Search, search, ... tada! The Independent, Sunday, 25 September 2005(!):

"US forced to import bullets from Israel as troops use 250,000 for every rebel killed"

Same article.

So why is the Belfast Telegraph republishing as 'news' a five plus year old Independent piece???
