As to your "Corrections"

1) You do not know how much money Edward Snowden receives from the various media groups to whom he grants interviews. You are also completely unaware of what book deals Mr Snowden may or may not have been offered.
2) So what was to stop Snowden passing his "revelations" on to outlets such as RT, the Guardian or Al Jazeera under conditions of anonymity?
3) If Snowden had remained anonymous he could have passed further information on to these outlets and would not have been silence immediately. Being aware of how the monitoring was carried out would have allowed him to "game the system".
4) My apologies, I should have been clearer - did not reveal state secrets damaging to current US activities.

Edward Snowden is a traitor and a pusillanimous traitor to boot.
