#changewesee Is it a lie, when you don't answer a question?

From http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/7180525/Alastair-Campbell-Tony-Blair-did-not-mislead-over-Iraq.html
"Mr Marr asked him: ''If beyond doubt is not established in the intelligence when this inquiry looks at the intelligence, does it then follow, yes or no, the prime minister misled Parliament?''

Mr Campbell replied: ''The prime minister did not mislead Parliament.''

But he was pressed on whether that was the case even if the intelligence did not confirm the assertion. "

Let's analyse this lack of answer from the spin doctor/minister for propaganda.
In one case he says "The prime minister did not mislead Parliament."
But then, he does not answer the question much like any slimy politician.
Its the old "A cretin says all cretans are liars" conundrum.
Personally, he, and the whole new labour moment are rotten to core. Nuff Said.
