Subject: Re: Our worst enemy
To be blunt, how would you know? You don't seem to look at "mainstream" media, based on the links you do provide.
The media I observe (from all over the world) is covering the border at an appropriate level. And especially when it was revealed they were trying to negotiate a deal.
I don't consider it a loss any more than Pons & Fleischman. Their claims couldn't be verified either.
