Perhaps (and I know this is a bit of a radical idea) when everyone has been to the joint briefings and heard both sides of the story there might (just a possibility I know) be some glimmer of understanding as to how the current situation was arrived at.
Personally I would want to listen and understand before pronouncing immediate and outright condemnation of the NTUS. But I'm a bit weird in not going straight into kneejerk reactions
