I think one or more words above are missing or mistaken, but I'll try to 'splain. If you say something like, "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," when you don't actually have a good basis to think that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa or -- worse -- when your own intelligence people are telling you that Saddam Hussein didn't recently seek significant quantities of uranium from Africa, you are trying to mislead people, and I can consider that -- at the very least -- to be akin to lying. Unlike contemporary conservatives like Penske, I am opposed to lying.
