Why are Government organizations such as the CIA permitted to use deception to obtain information, but if a private company (e.g., the Washington Post) uses deception to obtain a news article, it is treated as wrongful?

@gollum,
Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst working on the Pentagon Papers, copied the top-secret 7,000-page report and leaked it to The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Leaking classified information is a serious offense, but Ellsberg argued it was necessary to inform the public about the war.
