Corporation and committed to finance the Rosemont Copper project, have a
very good understanding of the risks involved and the track records of
the highly qualified professionals, who manage these companies.” Anybody can have an “understanding of the risks involved,” but that doesn’t make them qualified to take those risks. I can understand the risks of piloting the space shuttle, but can I fly one? Your op-ed did nothing to address the issue of the Rosemont Mine, but rather simply provided a cherry picked example of a junior mining company who made it big. Your piece is a string of buzz words, like “confidence,” “understanding,” “acquired,” “to build a good foundation,” “Augusta’s present and future needs.” Sorry, but you failed to get my sympathy for the little underdog mom and pop mining company that means so well and has a big heart, let alone live up to your title of “Distinguishing Fact from Fiction.”

You promised in your opening paragraph to tell readers everything about Ms. Hartmann’s “motives” for remarking as she did at the SSSR’s recent fund raiser. Other than mentioning that they were self-serving, you said nothing at all about her motives.

More seriously, you failed to provide readers the “crucial information” you claim has been intentionally omitted by Ms. Hartmann and members of her coalition. When did it become the custom for an advocate to provide self-defeating information to an opponent? You also failed to provide examples of Ms. Hartmann’s “inapplicable arguments” against Rosemont. If anything, you’re the one who sounds illogical and irrational!
