Uh, in cases of war--certainly. It would do soldiers no good if the government was simply spreading all the information around...
And on the other hand: I think the scandal of what happened in the UK about MP spending may not be a bad thing. Transparency is good when it comes to most things, as long as lives aren't being risked frivolously by doing so. Moreover, sensitive things like medical or personal information is, unless the person themselves does not object, private and shouldn't be smeared all over the place. I dislike the digging that results in US elections.
