Greetings,

What is a lie?  Clinton clearly lied.  But are there other ways to 
grossly misrepresenting the truth?  Is deceptive language lying?  If 
the President did not lie, but his entire Administration did lie or 
misrepresent the truth, who should be held responsible?  When the 
Congress is prohibited from asking the President and his 
representatives direct probing questions, under oath, it's difficult 
to prove anything.  I've listened to many oversight hearings, and the 
answer's are given in very carefully crafted language or there's has 
been no answer given at all because of an executive order.

So maybe the question should be, has Bush, his Administration or 
spokespeople deliberately manipulated and/or misrepresented the truth?
