R T Mason	I would gladly, but I doubt they would listen. That is why I said the burden of proof "should" be on the accuser. In reality it usually isn't.
JK2006	Tell that to the Old Bailey RTM!
R T Mason	I think there is a difference between lying and not admitting to something. If you are accused of something, the best advise is to say nothing. The burden of proof should be on the accuser.
JK2006	Why is lying such a bad thing? If it is no business of anyone else (consenting sex between adults) but will ruin your career, why admit it? Avoiding the reality is a vital essential for politicians especially when the media loves to twist GOOD facts into BAD headlines to bring you down because it's... A GOOD STORY!
Denise	I think the majority of Clinton's critics were more concerned that he lied to the nation. The affair was just a sign of human weakness. Very similar case to that of Lord Archer. He was not disgraced by having an affair but by lying under oath about it. Once we catch someone in a lie, we tend to wonder what else they are lying about. Can we trust them again?
