If pictures were taken and video captured, it would seem he was drunk publicly. So how does he claim his privacy was violated? Another thought - considering his public reputation, would it be possible to slander him?

1. He was on official business to a muslim country where drinking alcohol is not a good thing.
2. Why do these politicians always blame someone for their failures? The person who leaked the pictures was somehow at fault for him getting drunk.
3. Censorship is coming.

An alcoholic minister is a dangerous liability to the Govt. and a huge embarrassment to the nation.
