Thus read the headline of yesterday's Inquirer online edition. Hey I'm all for an open and cooperative joint investigation but I have a problem with the word these lawyers chose. Carefully chosen words are the tools of their profession, if I remember my Robert Redford in "Legal Eagles" quote correctly. Parallel? Do these people even understand the meaning of that word? Parallel lines are two lines on the same plane that will NEVER meet. So what are they saying? That the Philippine and the Hongkong investigations will NEVER intersect/agree with each other?
So it's doomed from the start, eh, Sec. Leila de Lima?
