Snowden deserves a bullet in the head for his betrayal of the US.

Had he merely exposed the arguably unconstitutional measures taken by the NSA, I think you could make that argument and have it at least not be laughable. However, the scope and breadth of his exposures went far beyond patriotism. He compromised data gathering ability in legitimate areas and severely damaged US relations with other countries.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Better to be free in Russia than rot in some American prison

In this context American opinion is the important one, since it is US policy under discussion

Of course he isn't. It's his own credibility and he can do what he likes with it. *NM*
