Then provided one. If you didn't care for it (quelle surprise) we can probably both live with that. The 'debate' department is down the corridor and left.

Edit: looks like I responded to wrong post. I believe that the 'effort' toward impartiality and avoidance of impropriety is an important part of righting the ship at DOJ - and at it's core and intent entirely 'ethical' (and certainly undertaken for ethical reasons, and as an attempt to restore such standards).

And now we can return to my comment on the debate department.
