You're getting plenty of feedback here, but you might want to read up on "category error" as to your sense of the privacy concepts you use.

The problem with this is that Manning released, along with some things you could argue the public has a right to know, all the other data diplomats and spies had collected.

Did we all need to know salacious details about Muammar Gaddafi's "voluptuous" Ukrainian nurse? That seems very much the same kind of data to me.

Public figures, especially those with substantial power, have less of a right to privacy in general than random citizens.
