"Sometime the best way to stimulate the debate you need
to make an informed decision is to take a step back. During
the Cuban Missle Crisis, President Kennedy received some
unconventional advice from his brother: leave the room.
Bobby Kennedy advised the President that his aides had been
telling him what they thought he wanted to hear. Matters
became so tense that each member of Kennedy's staff was
afraid to back a decision for or against nuclear war in his
presence. No one wanted to be accused of wrongly
advocating getting tough or making concessions, of being
too strong or too weak. President Kennedy left the room."
-Rudolph W. Giuliani, Leadership
