Politicians are especially good at this.

I have noticed their responses on other sites/blogs are extremely well considered and deliberately ambiguous in places where detailed answers are required.

The way in which their system will work appears (at least to me) to be carefully guarded and as such I suspect we will never really truly know to what extent it reaches. We can and will ask questions (as is our right to) but I do not think we will get sufficient answers.

At the end of the day, how can you really trust a company that has made its previous fortunes in generating spyware.

It says a lot at how fast they ran away when asked those questions yesterday. You can just imagine how much work there legal dept is putting in at the moment ensuring that the answers they give are just within the frame work they have given without giving away the true nature of there Spyware.
