7. Actually, it's been orchestrated by others for some months now.

He gave everything he had -so he claims- to several news organizations. Those classified documents are not safe now. As evidenced by the poorly redacted version of one that 'slipped through' into the light recently.

Snowden, like Assange, does himself no favors by opting for isolation. Except in Snowden's case, it sounds like he was isolated for most of his life and will be for the foreseeable future. 'Disappearing' him would do no good and would likely 'inspire' news organizations to publish everything they have so I think that's a ridiculous notion.

He gave up his control of the narrative and I think that was a mistake.
