It does appear that he lied about the Rumsfeld issue BUT, while this does not excuse it, I would rather have a person admit that they told a lie than pretend that they had not. We all know of politicians that have lied and tell additional lies rather than admit that they initially lied. Not doing it at all is best, Confessing soon afterwards is second best, Denying the lie and telling subsequent lies to cover it is worst

So when put in a difficult position Mr Bush decided the best course was to lie. I understand many of you are comfortable with that but it creeps me out. So Bush has not yet got a replacement, he has not yet told the man personally that he is leaving the administration, and you think it is a subject to be discussed on CNN. Had he not lied, he might have ended up without a replacement, and with Rumsfeld's value compromised. To you that is the better option?
