  "does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" "No, sir." "It does not?" "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly." So, do people lie to Congress all the time? Not wittingly, but in the sense that this phrase means "absolutely yes, all the damn time."
