No way.
Much better for the GoV to keep Snowden alive and "WikiLeak"-ing.
I think the damage these leaks do to the US is generally underestimated. Not just in terms of security, but also politically and economically. It's VERY likely that a great deal of damage will be done economically over the long term.
Frankly, I wouldn't even be surprised to see a lot of these Latin American nations begin capitalize on that economic damage over the long term.
This whole NSA Affair will prove to be bad business all the way around.
