Are they so used to no oversight that they think they can get away with anything? But there&#8217;s more than that at stake here. They actually answer questions by starting with the conclusion they want, and then fitting the facts that get them there later. Gonzales isn&#8217;t just padding his story, telling it in a way that casts him in the best light &#8211; he&#8217;s lying on purpose. It&#8217;s a whopper, as they say. Scooter lied outright. Cheney and Bush lied outright in the lead up to the war. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This is beyond politics and skewed truth, this is outright conscious lying, skillfully planned to cherry pick through things until some story line can be developed that can&#8217;t be prosecuted, but is, in its essence, a lie. It&#8217;s <strong>lying as policy<\/strong>. It takes the fun out of sleuthing when they&#8217;re this flagrant. Alberto has fallen into it head first. May his colleagues follow shortly.
