ok, i've been quiet all day on this one but it's just killing me.....

1st-thank you infojoe for your great DD posts with no spin...

2nd- WTF! when and where did kry come up with the idea that only chavez can approve the permit? this has been speculated on for years but has never been kry's standard line as far back as i can remember...although, since chavez is originally responsible for granting LC to kry maybe it's a good thing..

3rd- THE BIG QUESTION...why would gordon T. talk to a BLOOMBERG reporter for anything? especially an announcement of some magnitude...bloomberg has been responsible for some of the most disasterous rumors ever to hit kry (usually right before a PPS spike) ..last week bloomberg re-issued a correo del coroni statement about kry being issued the permit, then pulled it.... is bloomberg on our side now? who's next raul gallegos?

4th- how much of this is "journalistic license"? i dont see gordon stating the mine life at 64yrs...and he was'nt qouted on that tidbit

conclusion: the cjr newswire reports: expect huge swings in the near future...personally, i'd like to see a chavez "we gonna nationalize everything" statement followed by a permit issuance....
