not really. heros don't run and hide.
he was hired into the intel community as a security guard and finagled his way into a mid-level it tech with top-level security clearance, he copied a bunch of intel he already had clearance for. no hacking needed. he's a leaker.
worse though, he then makes the event about himself and not about the reveal by running away to other countries and not friendly countries either but authoritarian nations.
if he had done what other leakers have done, stayed here and let the process carry out, the story would be about that process and the information that comes from it, not about where in the world is waldo snowden.
