 The other approach from the press is basically the UN versus US battle.
 Unfortunately this only reflects the fact that the group did not devote 
attention to the framing of its public presentation but left the press to 
define its own understanding from the document itself. No doubt they went to 
the simplistic presentation.
 I'm afraid the opportunity has been missed to emphqsize the originality of 
the group, the approach it took and how it considers its report as a 
positive outcome.
