There is a clear difference between lying and libel. Lying is not specifically sanctioned against by law, and libel is. Lying is prohibited in certain situations (under oath, in SEC filings, etc.), while libel is never legal. Sometimes lying is acceptable: "Do I look fat?" is best answered without complete veracity, or at least not directly (I have learned). Lying to manipulate a stock can be illegal, but lying about one's accomplishments or plans as a politician is not illegal. It is hopefully punished at some point in the polls, by those who have a memory.
