Barry, it sounds like you\'ve proposed a quasi-judicial proceeding without the element of a sworn oath or affirmation by the witnesses. (Or in other words the only way George Bush will allow his staff to be questioned by Congress.) Though an attorney would already be in attendance, (I\'d invite Dave Litfin), apparently you think attorneys and bailiffs are necessary for official atmosphere. The use of attorneys as you\'ve suggested is generally to advise a client against saying something to perjure or incriminate himself in answering a posed question. With no threat of perjury in your proposed session, are you crafting a session that would you allow your \"associates\" to take legal advice in order to dodge tough questions?
Let me take some time to contemplate a way to involve the element of testimony under oath. I have an idea in that regard. It would involve someone other than myself asking the questions, but as of now, its the only way I can currently come up with getting sworn testimony from the witnesses.
In the interim I have a counter proposal. I submit a list of written questions through your graciously provided email and publish the submitted questions here. You provide same to the witnesses and have them answer them in writing and reply back to you with their answers, understanding that those answers will be forwarded to me and published here. That way, I can continue or dispense with my allegations, develop or discontinue them upon the content or lack thereof in their responses, and if they wish, they can still dodge the tough questions without fear of perjury, incrimination, or inconveniencing you, I, defense attorneys or your version of Joliet\'s Sgt. Drew Peterson.
What are the last two words of the National Anthem?
