It's like what Snowden leaked. Even though the NSA/CIA was spying & collecting data on everyone, and could spy on anyone at will with a secret FISA warrant, it was technically legal what they were doing.

However Snowden believed it was unethical on what they were doing and exposed it, and then was branded as a traitor and Obama even referred to him as a 29 year old hacker. Which goes to what was mentioned above, as some things are leaked for good public image, but Snowden was demonized because it hurt Obama's and others public image.
