If people elect representatives to form a government, it is a given they should be entrusted to act in the people's best interests and take care of national security.

Given the power of the non elected bureaucratic and the corruption through campaign finance money the US becomes every day less democratic.

Exposing government information is something different than exposing private information. Different people advocate either side.
As a political force the hacker community via outlets such as Wikileaks is rather the only chance to prevent total government surveillance.
