When a person serves at the pleasure of a man like Saddam Hussein with the Idi Amin syndrome, they're going to tell him what he wants to hear knowing full well if they don't, they won't be around the next day.

Sort of a catch-22, tell him what he wants to hear, but it also has to be provable (to a point).
