ORTEGA: We will not allow any open pit mining by anyone. It is illegal.

REPORTER: Crystallex plan is for an open pit mine, right?

ORTEGA: Yes, it is an open pit, which is illegal.

REPORTER: Ms. Ortega, if this type of mining is illegal, why did you approve the EIS provided by Crystallex?

ORTEGA: Ah.....

REPORTER: A folow up Ms. Ortega. If you knew this was illegal minig but still approved the EIS, why di you further solicit (and accept) money from Crystallex for taxes and bonds?

ORTEGA: Ahh.....

REPORTER: Another follow up, Ms. Ortega, all of this was on your watch and in addition you also had Crystalex invest millions of dollars into VZ social program yet never bothered to mention this was illegal. What has changed, or have just been sleeping these years?

Ah, in a perfect world... Funny no one ever asks these questions of her. It certainly would not look good if this went to any legal measures.
