I got a good laugh reading the small article on the front of the Globe & Mail today about The de Guzman mystery (..."He wasn't the kind of guy who could lead people into battle. He was the kind of guy they'd shoot in the back"). Well gee, I guess if a coworker is saying he was mean spirited and a compulsive worker, I guess this proves Busang is a scam. Just what the hell this article has to do with anything I sure would like to know. The Canadian newspapers have been turned into nothing more than tabloids. You can find more worthwhile information reading Beetle Bailey or Charlie Brown. There was probably 100 coworkers they talked to and 99 said positive things about de Guzman and 1 guy who probably got fired or demoted, so the Globe decides to print his quote (like usual they don't print any names to go along with these quotes). The article simply discredits the Globe even further. I don't think people should even bother to get angry or frustrated anymore with these stories because everybody I work with and I know who follow Bre-X simply look at these newspaper stories as a joke and have long ago stopped believing their biased crap. I think by now we have all come to our own conclusions on this whole situation and these stories are no longer being looked at seriously anymore. Maybe if from the beginning they had given us facts and not based their stories on heresay and rumours and if they presented both sides of the story, we could have looked at their aritcles as a useful tool. Unfortunately every aritcle has a negative twist to it and all they do is constantly quote unnamed "experts" who always provide us with a negative opinion (it's kind of funny, but I know alot of experts who have a positive opinion on Bre-X, yet they never seem to get quoted). As for the other article in the Globe which says "Bre-X gives Canada black eye". Can we atleast wait until the latest results come out from the current testing before we hang Bre-X out to dry. I sure would like to know what these newspapers are going to say if Bre-X turns out to be right after all. I guarantee they will find a way to blame Bre-X for this whole mess and Freeport will end up coming out of this smelling like roses even though they are proven to be in error in their testing. All we have to do is look at how the press treated Bre-X in the past to see how they will be treated in the future (when the Indonesian Government stole half the mine, the press blamed Bre-X. When the rumour of Bre-X not getting their cows and losing the mine came out, the press blamed Bre-X). Do we see a pattern here? Why should anything change?
