So did he lie? Was he paid to lie, or was he paid to play-act a hypothetical which happened to be untrue? Was he paid to play-act and did he deliver as promised? Or was he paid to play-act and did he not only deliver, but also lie for free, as a value-added bonus? I’m not grasping all the nuances.

Nice objective photo selection there, TPM.

Also, I see I’m not the only one who is confused, and I’m not bothering to jump back into that mess of an article. I wish Mr. Strauss would read the NY Times on his days off.
