the political tactic of lying through implying, and without actually lying; leading listeners to a false conclusion without actually making a false statement. George Bush II employed the rovian tactic of using "9-11" and "Saddam Hussein" in the same sentence repeatedly, leading the general public to the conclusion that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9-11, though he later clarified that not only did Saddam Hussein have nothing to do with 9-11, but he had never stated that that was the case.
