=================================================

They weren't lying

Sir: None of us likes to be called a liar. I suspect that it is especially
hurtful to Tony Blair, as it was for his friend Bill Clinton during the
Monica Lewinsky case. As lawyers and politicians they are likely to take
immense professional pride in their ability to mislead without actually
lying. The accusation challenges something more fundamental to them than
their integrity: it calls into question their expertise.
