This belong on chat now... My take-home was a bit different. I especially liked the part where the senator said "Thank You for your testimony, Mr. Gates, and I'm sure that as these hearings progress over the next several weeks, this committe will enjoy hearing from you again". I'm paraphrasing here. It seemed more like "We don't like your answers, so we're going to take up a lot of your time reasking the questions until we do". 8-).
