crosscheck
- n an instance of confirming something by considering information from several sources
- n an illegal check (chopping at an opponent's arms or stick)
- You continue to dig, check and crosscheck, and try to put the pieces together.
- Compounding the error was the fact that the database the agency was using for a crosscheck hadn't been updated since before the embassy moved crosstown in 1996.
- The practical solution would seem to be to attend the briefings, regard them as a reportorial starting point, then go out and crosscheck.
