the only clue that he even HAS a palantir is when he says to Gandalf "I know many things Mithrandir, I know who you are riding with, etc. etc."
It would link him closer to Saruman's madness - palantir addiction is bad!

Well, Gandalf CALLED him mad, and he was supposedly a white wizard.
So, I think the palantirs "helped" Saruman and Denethor become what they became, if nothing else.
