Wrong does equal false but it does not necessarily equal "lying." I said the same thing many times during the Bush Administration when people would say things like "Bush was lying" about Iraq having stockpiles of WMDs. No, it's quite possible that Bush thought they had those stockpiles. The fact that such stockpiles were never found does not make him a liar.

Same here. Could be the administration is lying. But the fact that it turns out they were wrong about what happened does not confirm that. Just confirms that what they were saying is false.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
