I know the lasso compels the one trapped in it to tell the truth, but can the person tell the truth, but not the truth the interrogator wants.

For instance, if someone is trapped in the lasso and they are asked: "Who are you?" The interrogator might be looking for the person's name, but if the person responded (assume the following are all true) "I am a man," "I am a student," "I am a father," etc. all of them may be true and part of who the person is, but they are not the truth the interrogator is looking for. Or can the person "bend" the truth if from a point of view such as Obi-wan did when he told Luke Skywalker that Darth Vader murdered his father? Or does the lasso compel the person being questioned to tell the truth the interrogator wants?

thanks

They tell the truth they are meant to tell. There is no bending, hiding or equivocating with the Lasso.

The lasso lets its user see the truest part of you, bares your soul to them.

You're not loopholing your way out of that one.
