That sounds like the "improve from the inside" argument, e.g. keep your trap shut until you've managed to attain a position power to solve the problem you've got. Whether or not you feel that is feasible or appropriate is, ultimately, going to require insider knowledge and experience. While I do have some experience with BAH (painfully apathetic[0]), I've never worked for the NSA so I can't say whether that is a plausible alternative to Snowden's action.
