How many people prosecuted under the Espionage Act in the last decade were spies? One, maybe? How many were journalists, or people assisting journalists? All the rest?
These people imprisoned were the only ones obeying the law, by reporting violation of laws, as required by law. Meanwhile, all the eager participants in torture programs are walking around loose, still collecting paychecks.

Snowden living a great life in Moscow? He's trapped in that country, maybe even that city, he can't go home to the US or travel anywhere because of the risk of getting arrested by America-friendly governments (or who knows if the CIA has worse plans). If what he wanted was the money, he was a well-paid consultant living in Hawaii, in your world of what you think his motivation is, he would've been better off shutting up and being a cog in the giant surveillance machine.
