Snowden took a job specifically to steal information. He didn't "stumble across" that information, he actively searched for it. And then he ran to China, where he proceeded to give them access to that information. After that, he went to Russia and did the same.

Just because he's going against the evil, nasty, supersecret NSA doesn't excuse those facts. He violated the laws dealing with classified information and freely gave them to foreign powers.
