That's moving the goalposts, though. The initial assertion -- that this is a cleverly-worded non-denial -- doesn't hold up with the text. Page is clearly and unambiguously denying that Google supplies any information to the government on a millions-of-users scale.

Saying that denial is a lie . . . is a completely different charge.

Google could be searching email for certain series of characters, like "xxxx obama" and handing that over. Perhaps NSA supplies google a list of phrases to look for.

Kind of like Mariano Rajoy insisted that Spain didn't need a bailout?

And the Federal Reserve said there was no real estate bubble to worry about. And the banks were well capitalized.

Yes, and murderers always insist that they're innocent. QED. We've got them now!
