just answer the question

OK folks, that seems easy. So why was it impossible to answer the question today: if it appears that News Corp has bribed officials at Scotland Yard or hacked phones and if that is a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act should the FBI investigate and prosecute? This is not a Republican or Democratic exclusive issue. Well, yes this one is but the bigger issue of answering simple questions put to politicians isn't. Answer the question, tell the truth and move on. If you do not think so, say that, if you do, say that. Even if you want to say that it is a question you do not want to answer because. . . . so that. Fine, don't be evasive. We do not want evasive. Got it?
