I would even let them get away with that argument, but if they do use that argument, that means they should also be pissed off about these revelations, and realize that NSA has gone fully rogue, and they need to drastically rein in on it. At least that's the logical conclusion from their argument.

The problem is they want their cake and eat it, too. They want to get away with it themselves, but also protect NSA and their powers. We should call them out on their hypocrisy, and ask them to restrain NSA's powers if it's really a surprise for them, too.
