Unfortunately, the politics are much worse than what is suggested by Nathan and David's very accurate description. Its going to get worse before it gets better.
The biggest problem, and I find this often in my profession, is that the adverse sides think the other sides' motives are impure -- not just that their position is wrong. Often, one side is correct and the other side is going off incomplete or inaccurate information. That's almost certainly the case here.
