Interesting, I still wonder if deliberately concocting a lie uses different parts of the brain than either correctly or incorrectly remembering an event.

I'd bet money that it does. The more difficult trick is to detect the remembrance and delivery of a previously concocted lie. The really good public liars, like Clinton, practice their lies in front of a mirror before they go on TV and say something like "I did not have sex with that woman." In fact I think we read that Clinton had rehearsed that performance the night before, with Harry Thomases, the media guru who was coaching him.
