<<So, lying is OK as long as it is not under oath, eh???? EH????>>

As far as I can tell, no one has suggested that stance. Lying under oath undermines the rule of law - the very foundation upon which this nation was built. The "all men are created equal" idea referred to being equal under the law. Lying is not illegal - immoral yes, illegal, no. Lying under oath can be illegal. Lying to a Grand Jury investigating a criminal case (which the Starr GJ was) is almost definitely illegal.
