Makes Facts Based on Decisions

Some people claim that Bush lied. Some people claim that if Bush lied, so did Hillary, Edwards, British intelligence, etc.
I tend to agree that "lie" is probably a little too strong. A little. But I keep going back to the joke from The Colbert Report from a year ago: "Makes facts based on decisions" (as opposed to the normal phrase, "makes decisions based on facts"). Maybe the current administration didn't lie, but it's been pretty clear that they made facts (cherry-picked intelligence and took a skewed view of what was there) based on decisions (the decision to find a way to take out Saddam).
More evidence of that recently: WaPo article and NY Times opinion.
