You have no idea what you're talking about. Please stop.

You say nothing damning? What cables have you been reading?

In July 2009, a confidential originating from the U.S. State Department ordered U.S. diplomats to spy on the leader of the United Nations, Secretary general Ban Ki-moon, and other top U.N. officials.[1] The intelligence info the diplomats were ordered to gather included biometric information, passwords, and personal encryption keys used in private and commercial networks for official communications.

In 2009, the U.S. manipulated — via spying, threats, and bribes — the Copenhagen global climate change summit to prevent any agreement to be reached leading to the overall failure of summit.

According to a cable from the American Embassy in Kabul, Vice President of Afghanistan, Ahmad Zia Massoud, was found carrying $52 million in cash that he “was ultimately allowed to keep without revealing the money’s origin or destination.”

There's more but that's what I found in about 2 minutes on wikipedia.

And the government works for us, they have no right to secrets. It is completely different from a private citizen's communications being leaked.
