> What Snowden disclosed was unequivocally bad,
I interpret you as saying the act of disclosing this information was "unequivocally bad". Fair?
If so, no.
From the Apple dictionary, unequivocal means "leaving no doubt; unambiguous".
Please don't take this comment as "for" or "against" Snowden. Rather, please interpret this comment as "for" critical thinking and clear writing.
Students of philosophy and ethics, as well as many thoughtful people, know that weighing right and wrong is hardly simple. There are many schools of thought. Whatever one's views might be, it is clear that different people have different views of the ethics of Snowden's leaks.
For example, a utilitarian style philosophy could easily argue that Snowden's leaks resulted in more benefit than harm.
