Well, I had to go and check Merriam-Webster and it turns out that we are both right: Main Entry: lie Function: noun Etymology: Middle English lige, lie, from Old English lyge; akin to Old High German lugI, Old English lEogan to lie 1 a : an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker to be untrue with intent to deceive b : an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker 2 : something that misleads or deceives While discussing fitness to lead, I believe difination 1b is in order for the simple reasons that (a) it prevents us from getting into the unresolvable debate over intent, and (b) as we agreed either of being dishonest or naive disqualifies a person from being fit to lead. If you agree, then I will get to work and as I said, I will leave out sticky Iraqi issues like pre-war intel or prison abuse out of it. ST
