He broke the law. Bruce Schneier:

Edward Snowden broke the law by releasing classified information. This isn't under debate; it's something everyone with a security clearance knows. It's written in plain English on the documents you have to sign when you get a security clearance, and it's part of the culture. The law is there for a good reason, and secrecy has an important role in military defense.

But before the Justice Department prosecutes Snowden, there are some other investigations that ought to happen.

Schneier believes Snowden will be remembered as a hero.

I don't think the situation bodes well for Snowden. The "hero" thing might not pan out. There will certainly not be a pardon (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023011189)

Schneier also said that Snowden "broke the law," a fact that "isn't under debate," and that "the law is there for a good reason." He also acknowledged that the Justice Department will prosecute Snowden.

It's going to happen. He broke the law, and he will be prosecuted.
