Not that it's a bad thing to do that, but it's more like setting that company up in the public sphere right before the government brings the hammer down.
Greenwald himself has plenty of "friends" in the intelligence world who are prefectly happy to feed him leads for their own benefit or to manipulate media viewpoints.
Snowden might not have been interviewed, but from what little passing experiance I've had with such organizations (foriegn and domestic), I'm 95% sure he's already been searched and information taken, no matter how "secure" he think's he's been.
I think BAH pissed some people in the operational side of things off. They do have a reputation for being a bit high-handed and finding ways to make money on contracts in ways that are considered less than ethical. However, I also think Snowden probably got more information than they bargined he would get due to corporate inertia.
That is, unless someone(s) wanted a master reset of their alphabet soup organization and orchestrated this "leak" to get rid of projects (and people) that were too costly and inefficient without going through the process of justifying the cancellation of contracts and potentially slowing the overall money spigot.
