Yep.  Asking questions with leading implications is a time-honored lawyer
trick, but it is certainly not confined to the courtroom.  Senator Joseph
McCarthy used it to good effect for several years in the U.S. Senate.

In all fairness, we really should give credit where credit is due, and
admit that Mr. Phlemming is fairly skilled in this particular technique
(although I think he's sufficiently imbalanced that I could easily out-do
him).

For starters, I have a few questions for Mr. Phlemming...

Who is _really_ behind this Unir Corporation front organization?  You
keep speaking of ``we'', as in ``We want people to use language XYZ.''
or ``We want people to use network XYZ.''  Who exactly is this ``we''?

Who are the shareholders of Unir Corporation?  What are their home phone
numbers and why are they unlisted?  As a registered U.S. corporation,
shouldn't this information be publically available?  If so, why have
you declined to provide a list of the shareholders and their home phone
numbers here? Is there something in particular that you are hiding?

Have you been to Oaklahoma recently?  If not, please tell us the reason
that you have gone out of your way not to be seen in Oaklahoma.

Is it true (as some individuals who wish to remain anonymous have suggested)
that you were seen in New York with David Koresh shortly before the World
Trade Center incident?

Are you now, or have you ever been under a doctor's care?

What is your favorite color?
