No More Questions For You!



Reporter Restrained After Panetta Hearing

Michael Calderone writes: "Following Leon Panetta’s confirmation hearing Thursday, several reporters approached the CIA director-designate in the hallway outside room G-50 in the Dirksen Building.

There, CongressDaily reporter Chris Strohm — upon asking a question — was physically restrained by a man who accompanied Panetta at hearings both days
."

I'm curious about what the reporter asked, but there appears to be no mention of that in the article.

So much for open and transparent government...

Dmarks: lol. You have outdone yourself. I must confess a weakness for the one featuring Chekov ;-)

Birdwoman: An echidna is a small mammal covered with coarse hair & spines which resembles hedgehogs & porcupines. Echidnas are special because they are one of the very few egg-laying mammals, like the
platypus.

They would definitely require parbroiling before eating, but I'm not sure how much history changing that would cause ;-)
