Not everyone segments responsibility to only their own country. He did humanity a service. He certainly did not have a responsibility to intentionally withhold evidence of US surveillance in other countries. I believe he had a moral imperative to reveal that information.

When you have a government job and are entrusted with a security clearance, your country's interests must be your only concern. The people are entrusting you with their interests.

And his country's interests were his concern. What he had a problem with was his government's interests.
