This is not good, is it?
What if he doesn't have a (super detailed and perfect) plan, and nobody out there can protect him, except the 300 million (if not 7 billion) people he did this for? What if this not a script written on our behalf, but real life?
Because that's exactly what I am thinking, you may call him a fool or a criminal, but until you can show me evidence of any selfish motives, he did this for us, and our grandchildren to boot, wether you see that now or not. Sure, it's not the same as taking a bullet for a bus full of kids, he "just" leaked classified things and ran way; but if I assume he truly believed that was the right thing to do, maybe not the smartest and safest way to lead a long life, but the right thing to do, then I have to admire his guts, and as I said, unless there is a sudden twist in all this, I am already indebted to him.
He's on the run from rather sinister people, too, who think nothing of killing thousands, or putting people in prison for life, just to make a point about dominance, while hiding behind human pyramids, deniability, limited liability and sophistry. If the public turns their back on him, he might be toast and that's that; which would be heartbreaking and flat out wrong to me.
