    NCC, as jk points out, the Court rejected the argument of falsifying statements.

    You notice the defendant is the CIA. Without knowing more I am assuming thier reasoning was based on some type of "National Security" exception, that misleading the Court was permitted as long as it concerned so called Classified information and all that babble and if the truth be told, the National Security may be at risk, etc.

    If you type in the case # in a search engine, other documents come up, and it appears it is a sensitive case of sorts.
    Thanks BOR....that's what I got out of it too, that the court refused to allow the gov't to lie under oath ...I'm not sure how the other member here posted , I put them on my IGNORE LIST.....I have a good idea though, if it's anything like the usual belittleing ridiculing remarks I get...........it's really very disgusting

    I know you can't read this because you put me on your ignore list but apparently you misunderstand how it works. It means you are ignoring my posts. I can still see yours and if you didn't have your head stuck somewhere where you can't see my posts, you will realize there was nothing belittling about my post. It simply asked if you missed the statement where the court rejected the claim of the government having the right to lie to the courts.

    They can refuse to answer the courts in many cases. In the name of national security being one but even that isn't unlimited. If the information is required for the case, special conditions are arranged for the information to be reviewed by the court where is can be utilized but still not released in any public manner.

    But in no case can the government actually lie to the courts. That is illegal.

    Yes, we can't consider both a person and government with a single measurement.
