I am very tossed on this one.  On one hand, yes the interviewer was
'reaching' and showing some lack of seasoning.  Out of bounds regarding the
story at hand. ...On the other hand, tweakin' a local Maya just a little
bit?  The reax is sometimes worth the risk.  Remember, any indignance a
local official presents from an out of bound question is directly
proportionate to how little s/he is exposed to direct media inquiry.  As
local media news goes away.....
