In the worst case scenario (for my point of view) it's comparing a lie to a crime. I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect them not to commit crimes and ideally would love it if we could get them not to lie but that's a bit of pie in the sky wishing there.

I agree that there should be no committing of crimes and no lying (common ground!). If I had to pick though, I'd go with the crime that resulted in ZERO deaths over the lie that resulted in FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SIX American deaths (so far).
