I do. I think turning himself in would have been more honourable, in my opinion.

Sacrificing one’s entire life to live in exile to expose is criminal government is plenty honorable.

I think revealing the wrongdoings of the US government was honourable, but fleeing to Russia was a bigger dishonour. You don't have to agree, it's a matter of opinion, really.

You're free to take his place. Why don't you volunteer? It would be the honorable thing to do.
