The Fourth Amendment, US Citizens and Wikileaks

[Smeagol]

It looks like every time you look around Wikileaks is releasing some new classified intelligence they presumably have been holding onto. Obviously, a major breach in US security but one of my concerns is since the first term of the Bush Presidency US policy evolved to include collection of data on American citizens. I do wonder if Wikileaks has in its possession private and possibly embarrassing information but not citing illegality of American citizens. For example I remember then AG John Ashcroft announced in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq that any American who visited the English version of the Iraqi Information Ministry website would be punished by having a federal investigation conducted on them. There have been other claims that at least prior to the Obama Administration but possibly afterwards too, the government policy was if there was a legitimate investigation being done on someone, err on the side of more meaning go ahead and collect information on anyone with a connection to them while you're at it.

Firstly, does anybody think its unpatriotic to sue the government? If Wikileaks eventually starts embarrassing private citizens is there any legal compensatory recourse against the federal government either for 4th Amendment violations and/or liability in the possible failed handling of the privacy of Americans?
