A few years ago, a guy came up to me and said, "Steve." Yeah? I reply. "What will the last days of the Truth Embargo be like? You know, as we get close to Disclosure."

I had a pretty good idea what the answer was to his query, but it was difficult to describe. I did my best, but what I needed was a metaphor. It has taken years, but at last I have one.

Of late, I find myself searching for an analogy gleaned from one of the A-list films of all times to the Disclosure process currently underway. I think I found one, Raiders of the Lost Ark -- IMDb 8.4, Rotten Tomatoes 94% Fresh.

Let's agree "Capitol Disclosure" would be the perfect name for a weekly report or daily podcast revealing behind the scenes machinations taking place on the Hill at the north end of the Washington Mall.
