Why are Privacy Rights Restricted to Bush League Minions?

Here's a right-wing blogger's comments on privacy rights:

Does the constitution grant us the right to break the law so long as we are able to hide the crime behind a wall of "privacy"?  Guilty criminals have been released from custody because a police violated their "right to privacy" with an illegaly(sic) obtained recording of a phone conversation of the their (sic) confession to the crime.

Interestingly, the Bush Administration cites privacy concerns when denying access to information on such matters as Dick Cheney's Energy Panel or which US officials John Bolton was snooping on.

Oddly enough, there is no outcry over how the desire for privacy means W and his Bush League minions "have something to hide."  Not that a double standard is anything new for these folks.

Please note I'm not advocating things like outing Valerie Plame, which the Bush Administration doesn't seem to have had a problem with. There are legitimate secrecy concerns in running our government.  However, the extent to which Bush League honcho Dick Cheney sold his country out to the oil lobby in exchange for political donations is not one of them.  Neither is the possible abuse of NSA intercept information by John (Yosemite Sam) Bolton.
