After looking around the Internet, I found a full transcript of President Bush's speech at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/specials/attacked/transcripts/bu...
It certainly appears that the article was wrongly reverted. I would correct the mistake, but the article was protected from changes shortly after the revert was applied, and so far has not been unprotected.
Might it be possible to allow registered users to still be allowed to make changes to this article? At least that way only people who can be held accountable will be able to make changes.

Hi,
I notice that the George W Bush article was reverted by Violetriga on 11th November 2004. The revert caused a George Bush quote that had a source (Sunday Times?) to be replaced with an apparently incorrect quote with no source.
This surprised me, as I would expect the quote with a source to be favored over an unverified quote.
Or am I missing something?
Rather than the revert, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to acknowledge the existence of multiple quotes, with perhaps some additional research, or at least mention reasons for the revert.
Apologies in advance if reasons for the revert were given - I'm new to Wikipedia, and I might not have figured out yet how to view the reasons for reverts (if such a feature exists).
Cheers, Edmund
