Pants on Fire

It shouldn't come as a surprise, but the Bush administration has apparently been lying to us once again.

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to
help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11,
2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal
court.

So why should we ever believe anything these guys say? Haven't we crossed the line where we assume they are lying until proven otherwise? As a reminder, Cheney and Rumsfeld cut their teeth in the Nixon administration. But they wouldn't plan to use these spying powers on their enemies, now would they?
