A quote I heard today which reminded me of The Convicted Felon...
"Urgent concrete questions and proposals would be drowned in the ceaseless repetitive torrents of words in which matters old and new were jumbled up together."
The source was an unidentified (quoted without specific attribution by the program I was listening to, that is) German staff officer, writing in his diary about what it was like giving Hitler his daily briefing on the Eastern Front in 1943.
