* In the middle of “a post on Larry Craig”:http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/tapped_archive?month=09&year=2007&base_name=post_4787, Mark Schmidt interestingly says “[I]n my world, if something’s none of my business, it’s o.k. for you to lie about it, in order to protect your privacy.” That would allow a much broader sphere of permissible lying than many philosophers would (I think) allow. Still, it sounds like a pretty plausible principle to me. Maybe this is widely accepted in the lying literature, and I’m just revealing my ignorance here.
