I'm willing to entertain the idea that he may not have intended to whistleblow in order to reveal war crimes.

But if that's the case, why couldn't the government have relied upon a fair trial to establish his guilt? Even if he is guilty, he is owed due process, and being restricted from presenting necessary evidence is a violation of that due process.
