The documents Snowden leaked that have been published should have never been classified in the first place. He did us a service. And our government leaks classified items to the press weekly when it suits them. The only reason they hate Snowden is he shed light on programs they lied about and didn't want us to know existed.

Maybe some of them. But large portions of his "take" are highly classified and extremely damaging.

And I totally get that, but for 1 individual to unilaterally decide that the public needs to know classified information is a bad precedent to set. While I think Snowden got it right. I'm not confident that the next person will not it right as well.
