Oh, dude, we like totally know what a lie is.

Heres the whole thing Kirchick doesn't grasp, and which allowed him to write this crazy article.

The administration was presented with facts about the impending task ahead. And it wasn't rosy. But in attempting to make the case for war, they did make it sound rosier than the intelligence suggested. They picked and chose what they shared with the public. That's being dishonest, deliberately.

We were misled.
