"So the WT did not need to sign on as an NGO to gain access? They could have simply requested a pass? So they are either really dumb or lying? Astonishing!"
I'll give you just one guess as to which, Lie or Dumb..
One Clue: They claim in their "official branch letter" that they had access to the library even before 1991 when they "applied".. So, they obviously had to go through the "procedure" to get access to the library WITHOUT being an NGO!!! THey knew what it was, and they obviously met the requirements, or else they wouldn't have had access to the library.. !!!!
They LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ohhh, it's soooo shocking <NOT>)
