Accusing someone falsly of being a liar is at the very top of my list of dishonorable conduct.

Um. Wasn't a central element in W's last campaign "Al Gore is a Liar"? What was that about? I can't think of much that compares to the masterful "honesty" of W's prewar propaganda crusade.

W apparently came into office wanting a war with Iraq, and siezed upon 9/11 the day it happened as just the ticket to get his heart's desire there. If you see something particular honest or honorable in that story, well, you're quite the "objective" Diogenes, in some looking glass sense or other.

Of course, now that W got his war, it's all somebody else's fault that it didn't quite turn out the way it was supposed to, but that's another topic. I think it has something to to with the one true Republican meaning of "personal responsibility".
