Why so many lies?

Why so many lies from this administration? After the spying scandal came out, they insisted that members of the congress and senate knew about it and approved it. Now, former senate majority leader Tom Daschle comes out and says that is not true.

So, what is going on here? What fraction of what we hear from the Bush administration is real? It is impossible to know. What should happen immediately is the appointment of a special counsel to investigate thoroughly Bush and his administration.

This is the United States of America. We are a democratic country and we can not afford the mentality "I am the president and I do what I want". Thats not how our democracy works.
