Thou shall not bear false witness

I really have not been following the Lewis Libby trail. But a thought came to my mind while I was reading an article in Time on the subject. Libby is on trail for lying under oath. He is certainly not the first government official being accused of doing so. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. Even though Clinton was acquitted, I really don't see how anyone can say that his infamous words:

I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

was not a lie. Did he do so under oath? Well he did it when he was deposed in the Paula Jones lawsuit. I wonder if justice will prevail in the Libby case. Do you think that justice prevailed in the Clinton impeachment?
