If you look at the actual poll results (from Wikipedia), Oct 2006 responses: 16% said "telling the truth", 53% said they are "mostly telling the truth but hiding something", 28% said they are "mostly lying", 3% not sure.
53 out of the 84% say "mostly telling the truth but hiding something" - very different than just saying "hiding something". The hiding something part could be as simple as "they hid some of the intelligence failures that allowed the hijackers to enter the country".
Nice way to massage the truth.
And btw if you seriously think that the US government, which is usually such a sieve that hundreds of thousands of top secret documents are leaked regulary by sites like Wikileaks, can in this particular case keep the lid on the largest conspiracy in US history - you are most defintely a whackjob.
