If you're disclosing nuclear weapon plans you are not whistleblowing you are just a spy. Whistleblowers expose an organization for doing something illicit. If your job is to make nuclear weapons than that's not really illicit in that context. But if your job is to surveil enemies over seas and you are actually also surveilling people domestically (sorry, I mean collecting meta-data on) without warrants and doing it completely in the shadows, that is over the line.
