I was struck while watching, and again reading the excerpt of the transcript that ustwo posted, by the sense that the commission (particularlyBen-Veniste) was not asking questions to get information - they were asking questions to make points. Those are two completely different approaches, and I was impressed by Rice sticking up for responding with information. As for the commission's approach, I wsa under the impression that this was supposed to be an inquiry, not a trial...
