It’s not doublethink to say the programs should have been exposed and that Snowden was a traitor for exposing them in a manner that otherwise hurt our country.
He could have done things properly, instead he dumped thousands of files unrelated to illegal surveillance to the media.

You can't fix lawlessness by reporting the violation of law to the lawbreaker.
This is also why police in the USA are out of control. You cannot fix a criminal conspiracy from within the criminal conspiracy.
PS: nations don't exist, they are fictional abstractions. You cannot "hurt a country".
