Those of you who headed over to CIFOR’s Facebook page to see whether they really did link there to a piece from the oil palm advocacy group Palmhugger trashing Greenpeace, as I said in my Nibble of a few minutes ago, will have been disappointed. It has gone. When I tried to comment on it, I was not allowed to, for the very good reason that the thing was not there any more. No, really. I’m almost 100% sure I didn’t imagine the whole thing. Did someone at CIFOR actually read the article and think better of publicizing it? What do they know about Palmhugger? I think we should be told.
My interest is piqued. In the interest of transparency and freedom of information, let CIFOR republish the Palmhugger article, even if as Luigi alleges, it thrashes Greenpeace.
Let’s face it. Greenpeace themselves have not covered themselves in glory and they have never been known to have shown any restraint in thrashing others.
