Assuming they mislead congress, intentionally, and assuming it is a crime, the catch phrase "murdering the truth" still needs to be dragged outside and shot dead. You can't murder the truth, just as you can't murder an animal, as you point out. Murder has a specific meaning: the intentional taking of human life.
What's worse, it's overt pandering to the media. Powell should be questioned so the truth can be ascertained. Rather, congressional "hearings" are more about our statesmen getting a chance to abuse people and make a few headlines. Do you think the esteemed gentleman really gives a crap about Iraq -- or rather about re-election?
If you ever get the chance, check out the movie "The Contender" to see Gary Oldman doing a fantastic job portraying abuse of the hearing process. In case you don't recognize him (he IS quite the doppleganger), he plays the statesman from the "Great State of Illinois."
