This discussion about talking to the FBI has me ROTFLMAO. I feel like I'm watching a John Wayne movie with its simplified moral categories of good and evil. Why not say that cooperation is dependent upon the situation? Exercise your judgement. Witness to a hit and run : "I wrote the make, model and license number down - here's a copy" Witness to a victimless crime : "What? Dunno, wasn't paying attention." Witness to a pie in the face delivery for a politician : "It was great! The pieman? Dunno, I was too busy laughing!" Questioned as part of some future anti-crypto fishing expedition : "Piss off" Our governments and its agents are not 100% an enemy - they're just very prone to bad behavior and require close watching and a vocal constituency.
