"I don't think anyone who thinks Snowden is a traitor actually has considered it at all..."

You're completely dismissing the fact that he took an oath to keep certain secrets, and a few months later decided to take it upon himself that the entire world needed to know what he was working on. There are avenues to report these things, to voice concerns without completely going against your word. Call your government representatives, go up the chain. There are phone numbers to call and people to contact if you're uncomfortable.

It's people like you who make the whole issue a "black-or-white", "for us or against us" situation. Probably shouldn't assume that just because people have a different opinion on an issue are "just" anything.

Have you seen what happened to every whistleblower who did what you suggest? You'd have to be an idiot to follow them and expect different results.
