Rumsfeld lies on camera

Donald Rumsfeld, US Defence Secretary: "You and a few other critics are the only people I have heard use the phrase 'immediate threat' - I didn't, the President didn't and it's become kind of folklore ... if you have any citations I'd like to see them"

Rumsfeld is then read two citations of he himself using that phrase to describe Saddam Hussein.

Spin is one thing. Being caught on national TV telling lies about something so important is another. How can he survive this politically? [thanks, Liz]
