This time.. THIS TIME they're follow the law and tell the truth. Because they have such a great track record.
Remember, this is the Administration that first claimed they weren't collecting anything, then they were but not on Americans, then they were but only for suspected terrorists, then they were but only for people connected to terrorists, then they were but only metadata. How dumb do they think we are to believe that story?
And - as others have noted - GCHQ probably has a copy of everything too so this is yet another paper tiger.
