What's in it for Harry. No money to be made from "commissions, boards, or tribunals." Nope, Reid is busy with the people's business. You know, building PGA golf courses in the middle of nowhere. With nonexistent water and Mexican labor. It's true. Can you say 'Coyote Springs'? Harry Reid’s “perspective” is very simple. What’s in it for Harry.

A momentary lapse of the awareness that normal people are not supposed to understand the basics of the political tools of "commissions, boards and tribunals" in that you first decide the conclusion and only then you allow your faithful appointees to start selecting the facts to support it. This is custom anywhere on planet Earth. Normal people understand this fine. It's just that we are so used to expecting politicians to uphold the charade that slight irregularities, however shortlived, in the pattern immediately stand out.

It's purpose wasn't finding the truth either, but complete humiliation and disorientation of the subjects. Let's just rearrange the statement for clarification: “From <i>my</i> perspective, i think it would be very unwise to...” Is he actually being brutally honest here? Honest, but misleading.

The very things he wants to prevent are the things that will allow the facts to be discovered and acted upon. We're led by morons.
