He was a contractor. People go 'missing' all the time. I think he operated based on his conscience and was essentially placed in a 'No Win' scenario.

I doubt he would have been 'disappeared'. US Intelligence wants to make an example of whistleblowers to prevent others from doing so, it's what happened with Manning. Huge trial, then jail time.
Doing that at least Snowden doesn't become a continuing Russia propaganda showpiece exiled indefinitely.
