Well, here's the way it works.

Bill Clinton broke the law when he lied about "I did not have sex with that woman." He had to be impeached.

Bush, Cheney, and Rice lied about whether or not the United States condones and practices torture (a violation of the Geneva Accords). That's just hunky-dory.

Could this possibly have something to do with party affiliation. . . ?
