Snowden leaked a huge amount of data to journalists that he trusted to decide what was in the public interest and what would harm national security. I actually think they have mostly done a good job. I think this story, and the previous one on TAO from Der Spiegel, are substantially different to the other stories that have been run from the leaks. I do think there is an argument that these kind of details weaken security, and it's far, far less clear cut in my mind that the public interest argument outweighs the security argument in this case. If you believe it does not that isn't a belief I would challenge - but blame the journalists who have made the wrong call, not Snowden. Deciding which 0.1% of the 100,000 documents to leak is their job.
