I know some folks from the NSA. They hate Snowden. HATE. I'm pretty sure he did more harm than has been revealed. In the same era, we sadly have found out with the Trump FISA warrants that we cannot trust the FBI to make valid requests of the FISA court, we cannot trust the Justice Department to remain apolitical, and potentially the FISA judge(s) are a bit too trusting.
Thanks for shining some light on a chapter of our history that certainly needed it!

" Detractors routinely say Snowden was a “coward” to flee the United States at all."
Not a single one of those detractors would have stuck his neck out as Snowden did. THEY are the cowardly ones. HE gave up everything.
