It ended up being false...
What happened was typical in today's news outlets...They took a quote, read into it, changed the context, and created their own interpretation...
Ended up being a whole lotta nothin'...
Publisher: McClellan doesn't believe Bush lied
Quote:
WASHINGTON - Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan does not believe President Bush lied to him about the role of White House aides I. Lewis Scooter Libby or Karl Rove in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, according to McClellan's publisher.
Peter Osnos, the founder and editor-in-chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan's book in April, tells NBC from his Connecticut home that McCLellan, "Did not intend to suggest Bush lied to him."
Osnos says when McClellan went before the White House press corps in 2003 to publicly exonerate Libby and Rove, the problem was that his statement was not true. Osnos said the president told McClellan what "he thought to be the case." But, he says, McClellan believes, "the president didn't know it was not true."

It's stuff like this that makes the myth like "Bush lied" continue to grow...Just throwing crap on the wall praying for something to stick...and when it doesn't, just tell everybody it did anyway...
