All of this debate is going on because CB didn't have a good answer when I said CIA polygraphs showed the so called intelligence coming from motivated Iraqis was a lie yet the admin chose to use that intel anyway. Now who is the greater liar, the person who lies or the one who knowingly passes the lie around as the truth and then claims innocence?

In any event her "experiences" sound hog-wash to me. I know many trial lawyers and X-burnt out lawyers. The ones who last in the business seem to be fairly "flexible" on ethics to say the least. I've also lived in several the Middle Eastern countries as well as Pakistan and South East Asia. I can't say there is much difference between Muslims and non-Muslims when it comes to lying. I find a much greater similarity across socio-economic groups. There is also some cultural differences that can be seen as lying, even though they are closer to social protocols rather than what we'd deem as such.
