The law doesn't work based on right and wrong, it works based on applying the highly technical nature of the laws to situations. There are thousands of cases of injustice served.
For example. He used the word "PRISM" which was previously unknown. Now other countries can go through their own espionage logs and try to find people using that term, etc.
So for that reason alone he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Whether he was right or wrong, he was "wrong" to say that word by law, and he will go to jail.
