Roberta, you seem like a very nice person and I understand that you believe that you are "protecting" the people who you care about......but your post is totally illogical, you are creating and advocating your own set of faulty and invalid (im)moral rules and standards.
Unless there was a privacy agreement beforehand where the primary parties agree not to divulge their correspondences to each other, neither party has the right to object if either make it public. In the event that the correspondence is then shared with a third party, as long as the third party has the permission of the original recipient or sender, he too is totally within his moral and legal rights to make it public. The message is fair game.
Secondly, people who are in the public eye, especially those who are voluntarily in leadership and representative positions, have relinquished their right to the same privacy rights that we who aren't in the public eye take for granted and they have to understand that their actions, including their private actions, will always be subjected to public scrutiny. That just comes with the territory, and I believe that it a good thing. We should expect a higher standard from our "leaders".
And when discussing the actions of any particular person, it doesn't matter a hoot what horrible things anyone else has ever done in their life. The fact that someone else, somewhere in the world, has done more horrible things does not justify that same horrific behavior from any other person. If it did, we would be justifying lower standards, not higher ones.
