"American car manufacturer General Motors ...." GM is not a car, it is a company that manufactures cars.
"American basketball player Larry Bird... " Mr. Bird is not a basketball, he is a person who played basketball.
"American wife beater Bobby Brown..." Mr. Brown is not a wife, he is a person who beat his wife.
by the same token
"American spy leaker Edward Snowden..." Mr. Snowden is not a spy, he is a person who leaks spies.

Now, if it had been "American spy, leaker Ed Snowden" then you'd have a case. But as it stands, and considering the body of the article never once calls him a spy, only using the term "leak", I stand by my interpretation.

You are completely right. I got that all wrong.
