Watch for this phrase in Petraeus hearing (or any other hearing)

[FlyingSquirrel]

"To the best of my knowledge" or "To the best of my recollection"

It's the same phrase used by the cop on the stand when he's talking about the ticket he gave you, that he couldn't possibly remember because he gives out hundreds of tickets.

It's the phrase used by liars, recommended by their lawyers, to avoid a charge of PERJURY.

[Old Codger]
