L.W.M. --
It is legal for the gummint to lie to us.
I fail to see where it is against the law. They can withold information just by classifying it. Bush can get up and say anything he damn well pleases. "Social Security is aboutto go broke and we must privatize it!" It's called "catapulting the propaganda". Has he broken the law? I do not think so.
It is against the law for them to use our tax dollars to propagandize us (lie to us) in the manner I described in a previous post, sing the "independent" media as a conduit for that propaganda without proper attribution, but the distinction between public diplomacy and propaganda is murky at best.
I recommend your comparing that view with John Dean's on findlaw.com.
