I feel like it's really really important to embarrass governments now and again. It shakes up the order of things, and brings light to those dark, icky things that we really don't want our governments doing.

All institutions have a tendency to become complacent and self-serving over time. This kind of scrutiny and pressure from outside is necessary to interfere with that tendency.
