And Reps don't lie.....they just refuse to hand over documents.

I don't know which document you're referring to; however, a refusal to hand over documents is, in no way, in the same ballpark as "lying". There can be legitimate reasons for refusing to hand over documents. Just because your political opponents demand it, that doesn't make it appropriate to do it. There are other instances (for example, the Hillary Billing Records incident) in which a court order requires the handing over of documents, when a failure to do so is criminal.

Lying is, in all cases, an intent to deceive.

BTW I never heard your thoughts on how Cheney sold oil machinery to Saddam when he was CEO of HAL

The only incident I'm aware of is when Halliburton bought Dresser and Dresser had a couple of subsidiaries that were selling stuff to Iraq. I believe there was a rapid devestiture of those subsidiaries, and the period during which HAL was involved was measured in weeks. The amounts of the sales were immaterial to Haliburton's operation. When questionned about it, Cheney said it didn't happen, but then corrected his statement a couple weeks later. I think it is totally expected that Cheney would not have known about these relatively minor activities of twice-removed subsidiaries engaged in immaterial operations.

So, what's your beef? HAL is a big company. The United States buys oil from Saddam every day.
