From the news I've read, my understanding about FISA is that if someone asks you whether you've been subject to one, you're legally obligated to lie and say no. Right, or am I missing something?
EDIT: well, technically it says not to 'bear false witness against thy neighbor', but it certainly would not be hard to justify a religious objection to that requirement.
Which is not to say Google or anyone else is lying about the nature or the scope or anything else about the requests they have received. But the problem is that we can't ever know one way or the other, because we have apparently created a system of secrecy and dishonesty. Once you know someone (in this case, the intelligence community, and those they compel) has a history of lying to you, how do you move past that back into a state of trust?
