I know it makes great TV to call the president and manager of the Georgia peanut company names for refusing to answer questions in Congress about the salmonella outbreak [And in print too, The Washington Post headline was: "Peanut Tycoon's Walk of Shame"] ...but let's remember a few things. The FBI is investigating, and the two men could face criminal charges. They have the right not to testify against themselves...so who in their right mind would undergo a cross-examination by some grandstanding politicians holding up "Crime Scene" taped containers of peanut products? Did the two do something wrong? Did they commit a crime? I don't know, and Congress doesn't either. Let's see what charges are filed and see what a jury says, no?
