"...This could be a problem becouse it could take weeks just to get someone on the job.Then they will start a review of KRY.This isVZ. we are dealing with.Our best hope could be the Permit Fairy [if that damn penguin did'nt push her in the water].."

I suspect the working stiffs (probably the ones with the applicable credentials and expertise when it comes down to the environmental technical review process) were the ones in Minamb that reviewed\recommended approval of the EIS. I honestly don't know what Ortega's qualifications are for her job other than being the wife of the Vice President. I'm betting that there are enough people with juice....Sanz, (Hugo?) that can make it very easy for a quick "yes" answer fom 'post Ortega' Minamb. Sanz to Merly..."Who reviewed\recommended approval of the KRY Environmental Impact Statement at Minamb?"....Merly: "Carlos Sanchez"....Sanz: "Ask Carlos if he stands by his original recommendation....tell him Hugo wants to know"....Merly: "I checked with Carlos...he says he stands by his original recommendation and wishes Ortega good luck on her job search and upcoming testimony in front of the Tribunal of Justice". Sanz to Merly:..."ISSUE IT!"
