It's a poor analogy likening governments to individuals. Someone who's
keeping a secret about cheating on their wife in their second year of
marriage has a right to privacy, as long as their conscience can bear
it. A government that has sent espionage task forces into
underdeveloped countries to upset their political system and install
their own "democratic" regime deserves no privacy. You've forgotten,
governments are made to serve individuals, and not the other way
around. Things are so backward nowadays that the US populace is
complacently dependent upon their government and the multinational
corporations that it serves: they're trading their freedom for
material comfort and soothing lies.

"Comforting and soothing lies" sound like Jesus, right?

I find it funny that they "try to shoot the messenger," and not, say,
some Afghan big shot who landed with $54 million in another country as
revealed in the leaks.
