Nope. PMs can be read using PHPmyadmin or thru a vB2 hack that allows admins/mods to read PMs. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER think anything your post at any forum is private even in PM. There are also ways for a user to gain access to your account including PMs.

That said, I would like to think a private entry would only be compromised in an event of LEA subpoena and only to expose malfeasant individuals entries, not to mointor the thoughts of it's members. I can't say I know the details of those that were banned, but I personally don't agree with reading journals in absence of malfeasance. Opinion is just opinion and I know this site doesn't have to support it's detractors but from what I gather only the journal owner and an admin would know that subversive journal entry existed, so I can't agree with it being "site bashing", especially when the journal owner had a mistakenly implicit belief in the sanctity of their journal. I hope this doesn't get me banned, but if it does I know my integrity is sound and that a poster of my type is not welcome here.
