Strawman. Traitor or hero? As if those are the only two choices. In any event, anyone who blindly believes everything Snowden has stated is a fool. Same goes for those who blindly believe what the government has stated.
The reality is that 99% of the pundits including the OP don’t have a clue what is true and are trying to pass off speculation as truth. Nonsense.
You will note that I don't call Snowden a traitor (other than the implication in the title) and I specifically mention in the article that I won't go as far as, say, Boehner, who did call him that.
I do believe that he broke his oath (or contract) to not reveal state secrets, but I feel I am clear, in my editorial, that his is the lesser of the crimes and/or immoral acts.

Nobody will know for sure until we see actual top-secret information, which will not happen. However, the reactions of lawmakers who are "in the know" is telling. They immediately called him a traitor, and did not deny his claims. I believe that reaction tells us a lot.
