Yup.....that's what they SAY.
The US Gov't (purely an example for argument's sake) also said that wiretapping without a warrant was illegal and they didn't do it. Of course they did it anyway, for National Security. It got embarrassing and annoying when they kept getting caught repeatedly and it became a real hassle....so they just changed the law. (Enter the Patriot Act)
Another (simpler) example. We need to institute income tax to pay for the war.....don't worry, it's temporary.
Today's assurances are tomorrow's abuses. That statement is as old as mankind, and pretty hard to deny.
