The law can be changed, and in this case it should.
Snowden's detractors have claimed he has given US intelligence to Russia. I am not aware of any publicly available evidence of this, but very well, let us assume that this is true. In that case, grant him his request for a public interest defence, and convict him on those grounds instead.
