The point I am trying to make is that one does not use this type of language when giving an account of a meeting. There are some journalists in the Gallery who will explain that to Mr. Culhane. They have to write factual reports about what happens here today. If the editor tells them to write a colour piece they will use adjectives. Mr. Culhane is an executive director of finance and services yet he has laced his letter with adjectives that create a negative impression of a person sitting beside him. I want to get to the heart of why he would do that. Was it a character assassination?
