Snug,
I couldn't agree with you more. I read the book about a month back and at the time I posted the same kinds of comments about the similarities between Voisey's play and NOT.
I also remember reading where Freindland was very frustrated with all the naysayers keeping his stock price down when the facts supported otherwise. Doesn't that sound similar!!
I would also say again for those who have not yet read this book, it is a must if you are in the McFaulds area.
