I can't buy that. He is/was a soldier, sworn to obey the lawful orders of his superiors. Those lawful orders included regulations that prohibited the copying and dissemination of classified information. At the very least, he disobeyed orders.
Yes, he disobeyed orders. Yes, he broke his oath. Yes, he committed treason. Still, he did the right thing.

Where you and I disagree is that you consider his orders against general dissemination of classified information unlawful; I don't.
