It has been reported here on the UT (I will not name names < g >) that Christiane Amanpour said on CNN that the Iraqi goverment had not lied to her. I beg to differ:
Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, however, called reports of coalition forces on the outskirts of Baghdad "an illusion."
"They're not even [within] 100 miles," he said. "They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion. ... They are trying to sell to the others an illusion."
