This quote on the Nat Geo website almost defies belief. It clearly implies that the "cut lines" were the USDCT's lines, which we all know is not true. Even the members of the USDCT will admit that, at least when they know that their claims will be made public and those tha= t know will be able to call them on any discrepancies. And "vandals"? I can't even think of a comment worthy of that one. Is anyone contacting Nat Geo on an official level?
