New format for the Hearings???
Instead of the cat and mouse games, I would like to see each questioner have 10 minutes of questions...No "Welcome to ..blah..blah..thanks for coming...b;ah..blah..".. They ALL know each other..It's been in the news.. The people who are there to testify probaby would rather be on the edge of an erupting volcano instead of being THERE, so cut the crap about how generous they are to show up..

10 commissioners x 10 minutes of questions each = 100 minutes of questions...

If it takes the "guest" 16 hours to answer them, so be it..

This cutesy little "game" of running out the clock so they can't ask a hard question is NONSENSE.. People DIED REAL deaths here, there are REAL kids with no Dad/Mom/Grandma/Grandpa...

Decency SHOULD dictate that, for the little bit of time they were given to investigate this, that games would be dispensed with..

And about the partisanship.... Tough questions should be the order of the day, and any kissing up, should result in their time being given to someone who WILL ask probing questions....

The whole CYA aspect of this is nauseating.. So far, NO ONE is to blame here.. Everyone did their jobs, but just didn't have all the information they needed.. Nevermind the fact that THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF GETTING THAT INFORMATION...
