The point is, which you missed, that Wikileaks is all we've got. So far. There really isn't any way to know, for sure, that these apparatus aren't being used for politically motivated means, with all else being considered. We, the people, from who the politic derive their powers, have no idea what they are doing with it. The secrecy level is too damn high.
