amen to that .. any other hearing on Capitol Hill is opened with that request ... you applaud or make derogatory sounds, and a Capitol Hill policeman advises you to stop ... or escorts you out of the room .. no questions asked. They should never have allowed those family members to carry on like they did for Clarke and Rice. It was disgraceful.
