But does this kind of lie even make things better for them? Their argument, even the argument given by Hadley on 60 minutes, is "we were too talking about terrorism!!' OK, so maybe they weren't ignoring it completely (although they've produced no evidence of this), then they're guilty of knowing the danger and doing absolutely nothing! Doesn't sound much better to me. Which do you want, a White House willfully ignorant, or a White House guilty of gross negligence in the inaction?
