I think the definition sould be amended to include questions which can only be answered in a way that will damage the respondent no matter what he says, and which are planned to serve this exact purpose. An example would be when President Bush was asked near the end of his first term to list his mistakes: his answer was portrayed as lacking in humility, but if he had more given concrete examples, the Kerry campaign would have used this self-incrimination in an attack ad and ran it 24/7. --[[User:AnnG|AnnG]] 16:47, 19 January 2010 (EST)
