Well great! Let's find out all the judgements of the secret courts, all the top secret info, where our money is going, etc. Government works for us right? I don't want to be nannied, I want the truth. What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose.
Why should the government have privacy but the individual not? Very asymmetric no? Whenever the government does something wrong, we likely don't find out at all, but if we do we have to go to its courts or legal system to get it addressed. It, on the other hand, can fine us for vices where no one is harmed.
