The 3 blind mice....???

I could not help but notice how in a picture in the New York Times of the joint hearings in Congress on Internet companies in China, three of the four company representatives were all lined up wearing red  "power ties". (Click on the image to see a bigger version.)




Could they be the three blind mice??  I wonder if they knew testimony like this would be part of their job when they signed on to be general councils/corporate sookesmen for these companies.  The picture was for the article "Web Firms Are Grilled On Dealings in China."
