Despite the laughable spectacle of U.S. Senators pretending to question job applicants (they don’t question, they bloviate), there remains unused the keen blade of cross-examination to reveal truth. To explore this almost-lost art, we turn the microphone over to our distinguished Senior Counsel. The discussion will examine: (1) technique; (2) evasions, and (3) the use of that fine old Latin slogan falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus (false in one thing, false in all). The subject is highly appropriate this year, what with Court nominations and many investigations, and specially appropriate this very day, because the U.S. House of Representatives spent last night in convulsions caused by the call from Rep. Murtha, a grizzled hawk and a Democrat, for troop withdrawals from Iraq. The debate – or name-calling – needed some classier techniques.
