More Lies

President Bush and his senior advisers have said repeatedly the last few days that the wiretapping plan was fully vetted in a series of congressional briefings. However, some democrats who were quoted as having approved the program, say that they never approved it. These include West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the Senate Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, who in a handwritten letter to President Dick Cheney in July 2003 had said:"I feel unable to fully evaluate, much less endorse, these activities," and also "As you know, I am neither a technician nor an attorney."

Rockefeller produced the copy of the letter that he had written then, proving that he is telling the truth. So, who is lying? The president, his advisors, or both?
