There are no secrets "above the law" but there are plenty that are "really really stupid to release no matter how many want it released" and even congressmen can occasionally tell the difference.

Interesting question... we live in a representaive democracy. It is not just the congress it is also the president that we elect. If we were serious about this we could continue to vote out those we chose until we voted in those who did what we wished. We are already voting in representatives to limit the Patriot Act and other domestic spying legislation... not to meantion curtailing unwanted wars...
It doesn't really matter, most of these issues come to light by leaked information by those we do elect to shed light on secrets that we don't believe in.
