You can achieve the same end--a distraction from the real scandal--by derailing the conversation on specific quibbles of wording. I actually can see now that I got suckered into that in my last post responding to Ustwo.

Ratbastid the only lying here was done by the left about Rove, did the Bush admin want to downplay Wilson's report? Sure, but honestly I don't think Wilson had any more of a clue than anyone else. Was Bush misinformed by British intelligence? Sure, there was obviously a lot of that before the war. Did Bush lie? No.
Why can I say this with confidence? Well lets think of it this way.
If Bush (and Blair) lied about there being WMD evidence, we would have found WMD's in Iraq. Think about it, as its obvious to why this would be true.
