I think it is also possible that he is afraid of going there since almost entire world is defending Assange. Obviously it is not a good idea for him to speak against people's interests. At the same time Trump decided not to report the number of deaths that come from drone attacks "outside war zone". Imagine what you could do with this kind of power.

Like the Govt said, if you are doing nothing wrong, you should not worry about "breach of privacy/information". I think the downsides and risks of this decision are higher than the benefits of it.

Breach of professional privacy / information. The argument doesn't apply to personal.

I agree. I'm simply pointing out that the Govt does not follow the very logic used to monitor us. Like the other post said "Govt information should be public and personal info private".

In the end it is supposed to be "of the people, for the people, by the people", not "of the president, for the president, by the president"
