as part of her confirmation hearings for a State Department public relations position, Karen Hughes was, by law, obligated to answer a questionnaire, that among other things, asked whether there were any legal proceedings to which she might be a be part of: She admitted that she had testified before Fitzgerald's grand jury. The NY Times points out, Bolton answered "no" on the questionnaire -- though,accoring to David Shuster on Hardball, Bolton did testify. It turns out he also testified before the grand jury on the contents of the Plame memo.

If Bolton intentionally misled the Senate in his questionnaire, he's toast. End of story.

Who's right and who's wrong? Or are both right, and Bolton simply failed to disclose it?
