| But, while tonight there are all kinds of renunciations and righteous hand wringing, the first question is, how was the recording made, and then, why was it made, who leaked an edited version to the media, and what was it edited to reflect? Lots of questions and we asked Mora about the first today:
Marvin Mora - BEWU, General Secretary
"The record that you guy have or the recording that you guys have, was a recording that was taken off a loud speaker, played from a cell phone on a mike. So you tell me the quality of that sound. To me the whole thing spin around. I am being honest with you guys: I was really vex when this whole thing came to light, because I thought that the recording was done on purpose. It so happens that I have knowledge now that the recording was done without the knowledge of anybody even the person who was recording it and at the end of the day, I'll be the first one to admit.."
Jules Vasquez
"It was done without the knowledge of you."
Marvin Mora - BEWU, General Secretary
"Yes and nobody knew that..."
Reporter
"So who was recording it? There was a ghost?"
Marvin Mora - BEWU, General Secretary
"I don't know. I don't care anyway."
Reporter
"Are you saying they use that person's phone to record without them knowing, because it's not making any sense?"
Marvin Mora - BEWU, General Secretary
"The person has recorded a previous meeting that we had, and he never turned off the recording device on the phone and the thing record the whole."
Reporter
"Yeah, but then it goes from there to having copies of that made, distributed to members of the PSU and then made public."
Marvin Mora - BEWU, General Secretary
"Ironically, the person who originally recorded that conversation between about 4-5 of us, the person made a snippet of that conversation and gave it to one person who had heard somebody made comments that I am a person that was racist - that was saying racial things about the Garifuna people in that conversation and to prove that person was wrong, she provided that snippet."
