      Pence is brazenly lying because he knows he won't get called out on it.https://twitter.com/Mike_Pence/status/1213189757708189699 …

      The essence isn’t a lie, though “12” is obviously wrong. 9/11 Commission found evidence that “8 to 10” of the Saudi hijackers went through Iran in 2000-2001; Commisison said there is “strong evidence” Iran facilitated their Afghanistan travel, though didn’t know of the plot.

      I think this clearly counts as willfully deceptive. The finding is that people in Iran may have helped some saudis nationals travel to Afghanistan through Iran, having no knowledge that some would be involved in a terrorist attack a year later is a significant detail.

      Upon thinking about this, I should've been clear in saying that it was misleading in suggesting Iran deliberately aided the attack. I was just trying to dissuade people from accusing Pence of inventing the whole thing, when there is a factual basis here, but your point is good.

      Replying to @ddale8 @HeerJeet

      Yeah, I get that. That makes sense. I said something similar in a separate thread. A kernel of truth - or a real data point - described in a way that is meant to mislead, suggest that Iran had some level of involvement or assistance with the 9/11 plot.

      Yeah, I think it's so deliberately misleading that it's fair to call it a lie -- although I recognize that some might want to have a narrower definition of lie.

          Useful context would be: how common/uncommon was it for him to assist Saudis passing through Iran? What did that assistance consist of? How did he come to even be aware these individuals were in transit? All feel like important questions to me.

          This is Mike Dense. Very good chance that he read it tweeted somewhere and just believed it uncritically.
