Yes. Snowden is an American patriot. Cryptome are extreme information-freedom fundamentalists. WikiLeaks is moderate by comparison, and vets stuff before publishing. But Snowden wanted vetting by professional journalists. So we have what we have. Bottom line, though: he got the stuff, so it's totally his call on how it gets released.

This is just it. People seem to forget that Snowden is best viewed as an establishment figure who is trying to correct it's direction, not destroy it. Snowden's actions were a call to stop a surveillance state before the surveillance state stops everything.

Or he's CIA and this is all agency drama... Haven't decided yet.
