Well it's another example of an habitual lie of buddy. Or is never ending wide and deep abject stupidity a valid defense for buddy? It a question of giving the benefit of lout. I call it samo samo habitual lying.

A lie of omission - by failing to refer to the different US intelligence conclusions - and a slippery linguistic trick to refer to some other country's intelligence claim to get around the inconvenient fact that our intelligence people didn't say the same thing.

Just listening to the radio news, said an administration spokesman called Tenet's assertion that a "high level" member of the administration pushed for inclusion of the Sadam/Africa/Uranium statement in the SUA - nonsense.

Beginning of the end of Tenet?

edit - here's the story:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Democratic senator charged on Thursday CIA Director George Tenet told members of Congress a White House official insisted on including a disputed allegation about Saddam Hussein's push for a nuclear weapon in a presidential speech.

The allegation by Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was quickly denounced by White House spokesman Scott McClellan, who called it "nonsense" in the latest exchange on the issue between the Republican White House and Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Now who is McClellan calling a liar - Durbin or Tenet?
