Just as @'s are tracked, you could click RT, which would create an uneditable update, with a note below indicating that it had been retweeted, linking to the original source. This would maintain the current interface, eliminate the unnecessary addition of all of the characters required by an RT (and multiple RTs are almost undreadable http://www.twitpic.com/1nk7m ), and ensure integrity of the original message.

I just had a rather unfortunate "retweet hijack" happen to me yesterday and made a reluctant decision to blog about it... which has stirred up quite the controversy. Ugh. http://www.marismith.com/retweet-hijacking-what-would-you-do/ -- I just added a trackback to your post here as it provides great additional reading for my readers.

When I retweet, I try to be cognizant of the original poster, and make sure my own comments are clearly defined, but mistakes do happen, especially in a fast-moving media like Twitter. Certainly this was an honest mistake on @cbarger's part, but the possibility of misuse/abuse exists. Part of the problem is the difficulty in squeezing everything into 140 characters. Would be nice if Twitter had some sort of feature (one that did NOT use up character space) that flagged posts as retweets.
