Janet Smith on Lying

Here is a link to Janet Smith's recent article in the June/July 2011 issue of First Things. Here. The article, which is entitled "Fig Leaves and Falsehoods," discusses the debate about whether it is moral to use evil means (lying) to serve a good cause. She concludes, hesitantly disagreeing with St. Thomas and others (Chris Tollefsen, for instance), that it is sometimes necessary to deceive.
