Sir, – Have we all gone mad? We know that the banking inquiry is a futile exercise. And still we permit politicians to waste weeks of valuable time, and tons of paper, on this exercise.
Worse, we allow witnesses to present self-serving statements, before their appearance. Then they clarify their self-serving statements, before their appearance. Then they read their self-serving statements on television, to make sure we get all the self-serving nuances just right. And finally, they lob back the answers to soft-ball questions which will never elicit the information we need.
Enough already. Wind up this farce. – Yours, etc,
