Here: It's the bottom paragraph of the article. Something about the Forbes website makes it impossible to just lift the quote. I found it elsewhere.

For readers who prefer the comments to the article (which often includes me):

    Snowden’s former colleague says that he or she has slowly come to understand Snowden’s decision to leak the NSA’s files. “I was shocked and betrayed when I first learned the news, but as more time passes I’m inclined to believe he really is trying to do the right thing and it’s not out of character for him. I don’t agree with his methods, but I understand why he did it,” he or she says. “I won’t call him a hero, but he’s sure as hell no traitor.”
