Lying is not a technicality

From a letter to the editor I sent last week: they replied with a
query for contact info which usually means they are going to run
it.

The lies didn’t start with I. Lewis Scooter Libby
and his false testimony and it’s plain they won’t end there.

But regardless of your political affiliations or your feelings about
the administration’s conduct, lying under oath is not acceptable.
We expect no less from school children, after all.

Instead of focusing on whether or not perjured testimony was justified
— I can think of no case where it would be — we should ask why
Libby lied? Who or what was he protecting? That is what Patrick
Fitzgerald will discover, no matter how much sand is kicked in his
face, as he so aptly put it.

There must be a reason why someone would dishonor their oath of
office and the oath to tell the truth to the federal grand jury:
who are they serving, if not their country?
