McTim went too far...it probably was not written by a 20 year-old intern, they get stuck with more menial tasks.<br>
<br>
Odds are principle 'drafter' was a...21-26-year-old committee staffer, cribbing/revising from lobbyist-provided talking points.

Hey at least they spelled IAB right. ; )<br>

<div>Thanks for sharing this Deirdre.

</div>
<div>McTim, suggesting that a 20 year old intern did that background brief to serve a congressional subcommittee as this critical one, must be some kind of a joke, I presume. Certainly, an un-paid intern!</div>
<div>The overall narrative is pretty much in line with the US reasoning, except that for once, it is more or less raw and plain.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We still have a long way to go... I am afraid...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>JC</div>
<div>PS: McTim: if you have the name of that intern, I am pleased to offer him a position. Even though I cannot but disagree with the perspective, the job is rather well done.<br>
