Liars

How many times will the White House lie before the press realizes that, you know, they LIE.

Elisabeth Bumiller and Philip Shenon write in the New York Times: "The White House said on Tuesday that there would be no recording or formal transcription of the historic joint interview of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney by the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. . . .

"But in fact, CBS News has learned, those sessions were recorded and will eventually be transcribed.
