In Woodwards 1st book on George W. Bush, :"Bush At War" he told quite a few lies about what he witnessed and what he didn't

When asked if he had ever lied, Woodward said he’d gotten things wrong, “but I’ve never done it intentionally.” And while he admitted that if a lie might save someone’s life, he might do it, the concept clearly made him uncomfortable. “The truth is difficult. I’ve not seen the noble lie. I’ve seen the ignoble lie far too often.”
