Maybe both? They are not mutually exclusive. I personally - don't think he was a spy.

Its not either-or. If Aldrich Ames had posted his stuff to the New York Times, he would have been a “whistleblower” if he got caught, and a hero, and his handlers in Moscow could have read the very same information with their tea... and he would not have died in jail.

This is the way espionage is done in the modern era. You don’t have to leave it under the rock a hundred paces north of the bridge. You just leak it to the press anonymously. Or post it to Wikileaks anonymously. Your handlers get it just the same.
