No matter what the reason or the consequences telling the truth is always best. Sometimes it hurts others, but if you continue to tell lies eventually it will catch up with you and 'your friend'. It's like chasing the wind.
You will feel better within yourself for telling the truth and if your friend is angry or cuts you off, then realistically they are not deserving of you. Honesty is a high honor, and if you allow yourself to compromise then you become THEM, when you could be YOU.
Make a stand with them and yourself and gain self-respect and honor.

The best answer that i can give you is not to get involved... because you will never really determine what will happen if you lie or tell the truth.
I was in the same situation as you... my friend had told a lie to her boyfriend and begged me not to say anything. He confronted me and i told hI'm exactly this " im sorry, but i am not getting involved in this, its between you and her not me"
If you don't know what to do , then maybe you shouldn't do anything... and let it be.
Depending on the severity of the situation then you should know what to do.

Well, the end justifies the means. So I say, I'll lie just to save someone rather than following the golden rule and end up messing somebody's life. However, one should evaluate the situation first. This is imperative. If your decision gives benifits and can actually outweigh the damage then that's a good call.

This is a very good question! It is a very hard question to answer as well. Whenever I run across a problem such as this, I always go with whichever route is "The Greater Good".
For instance, if you are going to tell a lie to save someone who is a good person, of course it would be best to lie for them. This is an example of when telling a lie for someone is an absolute good thing.

that's allways hard to decide, but experience taught me its best to hide the truth if its going to hurt many people. i prefer not to tell a lie, instead i do not give an answer at all.its up to other people to find out what the truth is.

In most cases, tell the truth in a tactic way is the best.
