These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-06-27,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.

For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 7, Round 4 - History - Whistleblowers, or "You Can't Handle the Truth!"

1. At the CIA's request, this diplomat went to Niger and discovered
that Saddam Hussein likely hadn't bought yellowcake uranium from
there. Displeased, the US Administration suppressed the report.
Undeterred, the diplomat published it in the "New York Times".
Miffed, the administration exposed his wife as a CIA operative.
Name either the diplomat or his wife.

2. Which US private was arrested in May 2010 for passing classified
documents to Wikileaks?

3. A military analyst working with the US State Department,
Daniel Ellsberg released classified documents to the "New York
Times" in 1969, demonstrating that the Johnson administration
had systematically lied to the public and to Congress about
the Vietnam War. What are these documents called?

4. In 2004, Sgt. Joe Darby provided a disk of photos and an
anonymous note to Army Criminal Investigations, exposing
violations of the Geneva Convention, including torture and
abuse -- at *which Iraqi prison*?

5. Mark Felt came out of the whistleblower's closet in 2005,
30 years after leaking secrets about Nixon's involvement in
the Watergate scandal. In that context, how was he better known?

6. Mordechai Vanunu was a nuclear technician who revealed details
of his country's clandestine nuclear weapons program in 1986.
He was arrested and spent 18 years in prison, 11 of them in
solitary. Which country did he tattle on?

7. He said he'd repeatedly informed senior officials of the
potential torture of prisoners once they'd been handed over to
Afghani authorities; the officials denied ever knowing about it.
During an inquiry in 2007 into Canadian military actions,
he was the only witness to come forward despite threatening
letters from the Dept of Justice. What """is""" his name?

8. She was Canada's first Integrity Commissioner, a position
created by the Harper government to protect whistleblowers in the
public sector -- they said. In 3 years, her office investigated
a whopping 5 out of 228 complaints -- and remarkably, found
no cases of wrongdoing. Amidst allegations of negligence,
harassment, and retaliation against staff, she resigned """last
fall""" with a $400,000 severance package. What """is"""
her name?

9. He was the first New York City cop to speak out about corruption
in the department. In 1970, he contributed to a front-page story
in the New York Times that led to a commission to investigate
the allegations. He survived a gunshot wound to the face, and
eventually retired to northern New York State. Who """is""" he?

10. This union activist was a chemical technician in Oklahoma,
making plutonium pellets for nuclear fuel rods. Before going
public about dangerous mishandling of contaminants, she was
killed in a collision. Name her.

* Game 7, Round 6 - Science - Viniculture

For each question, select from the following list the wine grape
that best fits the clue. Answers will not repeat.

| Aligoté | Gewürztraminer | Sauvignon Blanc
| Cabernet Franc | Grenache | Sémillon
| Cabernet Sauvignon | Merlot | Sylvaner
| Chardonnay | Mourvèdre | Syrah
| Chasselas | Muscadelle | Ugni Blanc
| Chenin | Pinot Noir | Viognier
| Gamay | Riesling

1. The basic grape for Cognac and Armagnac. Also known as
Trebbiano, and used under that name in many Italian white wines.

2. The white grape predominant in Bordeaux. Grown also in the
Loire Valley, where, for example, it is used in Pouilly-Fumé.

3. White wine, Rhone Valley grape, used to make Condrieu.

4. Known as a temperamental grape, sensitive to many diseases.
The dominant red-wine grape of Burgundy. Germany is its second
home, where it is known as Spätburgunder.

5. In France found almost exclusively in Alsace. Dominant in
Rhine and Mosel wines; used to make ice wine as well. Known also
as Johannisberg, after Schloss Johannisberg in Germany.

6. Great white wine grape of Burgundy; used to make Pouilly-Fuissé;
also used for Champagne.

7. In France, cultivated mainly in the northern Rhone area.
Among competing theories of its origin: a crusader brought it
back from Iran (Persia).

8. Dominant grape used in Médoc; around the world, the most
widespread red wine grape after Merlot.

9. This white wine grape goes by the name Fendant in Switzerland,
where it covers 30% of the country's vineyards.

10. The predominant grape in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Used also in
Tavel Rosé. It ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such
as those found in Spain, the south of France, and California's
San Joaquin Valley.
