What!? What?! Oh, yes, as I was saying...

The intrepid CWN reporter seems puzzled by the fact that the speech was delivered on April 24 but-- despite the looming crisis for the future of mankind-- not released until today. I think I can explain. When you pack this much excitement into a statement, a reader will need to, um, rest a bit, to recover his strength, before writing up the press release.
