Question:

Do you believe that there are times when politicians should lie to the American people?

I'm restricting my question to the USA since I am most familiar with the American system of rule. By "lie," I mean that act which involves making a statement that is either intended to deceive or that is not in accord with what one internally cognizes.

It's always fun to watch a government make allegations against others while engaging in such behaviour.
