Or working for the Chinese ?
I'll bet he's on the run. Staying at the hotel would most certainly involve capture by Hong Kong officials, and eventual extradition to the U.S.
There will be no extradition, because there will never be any warrant. Despite being distasteful to some, he didn't do anything illegal.
Since when did telling people what their government is up to become so wrong?

Bradley Manning released documents wholesale, which I believe a number of them put intelligence assets at risk of bodily harm. I'll give Snowden credit for not being an arrogant ass like Manning by releasing details about a program that no doubt impacts a majority of Americans who use any sort of telecommunication technology.

If one takes an Oath not reveal things and signs the appropriate non discloser documents. Thats what they are saying he violated. I would still like to see the proof of this before he is lynched by Gov. officals.
What has me laughing is one part of the Gov. says 'Hey its not big deal we rarely get any info on US citizens blah blah blah blah" Then you hear a Gov. offical saying this guy has released info that has put people into danger he needs to be arrested blah blah blah blah. I'm just ok what is it, no big deal or is it treason or what?

Maybe they believed the general public didn't need to know... or that potential terrorists shouldn't know that they may be monitored. For Manning, I've heard info from both sides, that it put people at risk and that it didn't. One common result for both actions is that it really bothered a lot of people higher up... now how can that be a bad thing?

Releasing classified information is definitely illegal.

When someone does something and then runs off to hide in another country... I can't help but think that he did something illegal.

In the US the oath that everyone takes is to defend and protect the Constitution. In this case I'd say Snowden is actually fulfilling that oath given that the NSA is doing things far beyond the scope of what they're allowed to do under the law.

Sounds more like a confirmation bias to me.
It will be an interesting psychological study to read the comments in the Bradeley Manning threads and compare them to the Snowden comments.

Manning was a soldier, he had a different set of regulations to follow.

Why? I didn't say Snowden was correct in his actions, but at least, (according to his interview with the Guardian) he specifically chose to release information that won't put actual human lives at risk.
Both individuals certainly were forbidden from releasing any information, and they both should face the consequences for their actions, but, I'm SLIGHTLY more sympathetic for Snowden for having better judgment in what he decided to leak.
