Reading the letter, we do not appreciate a single point of the issues raised, because it is like comparing oranges to apples. While accusing the Indonesian Environmental Forum (WALHI) of being \"unscientific\", Newmont forgets that it is defending a disposal system for its mine waste -- tailings -- that is scientifically unproven from the safety point of view.",
