I don't know Rekna. I don't mind them lying when required. Say, for items of national security, but this is just a mess. Taking responsibility goes beyond the few press releases I've seen. Someone should be working to correct problems instead of digging more little holes. This seems like an irresponsible teenager's line of BS mixed with semantics. Covering ass because their planning and/or chain of command is screwed up is lame. It's not perjury, nor treason, but it is very weak. OTOH, that they're unable to respond to natural disasters with fair warning and untold billion$ spent in preparation (or de-preparation with regard to FEMA), and have to resort to weak vagaries to cover ass, now that's negligent at best. Asses should be kicked far beyond one or two fall-guys.
I don't expect we'll see better of either party, and here we are debating Webster definitions.
