Gotta love this site. Snowden is revered around here yet a whistleblower goes through the proper channels to report wrongdoing by the US government and they still get outed, named, and trampled. Do you want government oversight or not? Do you want whistleblowers or not?

And dang is nowhere to be found

Snowden blew the whistle on legitimate information - the other guy did not & that outcome was upheld in court.

Hard to see how you could miss such an important distinction between the two unless you had some other motive.
