Omission isn't lying.

That's a lie.

"To lie by omission is to remain silent and thereby withhold from someone
else a vital piece (or pieces) of information. The silence is deceptive
in that it gives a false impression to the person from whom the information
was withheld. It subverts the truth; it is a way to manipulate someone
into altering their behavior to suit the desire of the person who
intentionally withheld the vital information; and, most importantly, it's
a gross violation of another person's right of self-determination."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie#Lying_by_omission

"One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving
another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to
correct pre-existing misconceptions."
