Timelines don't make sense, page-29

ST, great find! It is amazing that those who were for so long touting that NMDC were not to be trusted are now the ones that are trying to use NMDCs communications as evidence that something is fishy with the timelines.
If the NMDC quotes are in fact accurate, then the very notions that some presented about the apparent culture of needing to look good and coming out on top actually may have some element of reality in this case. Whethe or not the content of what they said is accurate or not is irrelevant in this case, the mannerr in which they are said comes across completely unprofessional compared to ECT. Timelines seem fishy all right, but the credibility certainly lies in ECTs corner in this instance.
Where was this level of communication from NMDC to the media on what they really thought over the last 3 years? Seems to only have appeared after there is egg on their face...
