treated like royalty when they appear 'for questioning' before Congress or Parliament or wherever they 'agree' to put on a performance.

Kind of reminds of Abu Ghraib. They let the real perps off the hook but gave the public a few little people to vent their anger on and distract from the real criminals, who are also still running around treated as if they were royalty.

You did fine btw, and welcome to DU
