IOW, it's no use to lie to Widmore, it's unnecessary to lie to Widmore....why the lie?
IMO, the idea of lying is to protect the island from being exploited, and not necessarily the survivors.

Wasn't that was the sole purpose of Locke telling Jack to lie once they had returned home (in the Season 4 finale)?

But either way, Jack is just about every character with a strong personality's b*tch (Ben, Locke), because he is arguably the most easily manipulated character on the show.
