Why is Edward Snowden a hero?

He divulged sensitive U.S. documents and information that now bad actors use to exploit/harm the US. Further, he knew what he was doing was against the law and ran as far away as he could to avoid facing the consequences(Bradley, now Chelsea Manning as far as I know didnt run like a coward). Now he's a pawn between Russia and US relations.

The information he divulged that we are being watched by our govt. was nothing knew. It was information publicly known back in 2006.

I don't get why he is so exalted?!?
