While our surrent President -for whom I voted, apparently with more hope than sufficient caution- has done a 180 degree turn on whistleblowers (going to the punative and prosecutorial end instead of the treat 'em like heros pole of the spectrum), it reassures me that someone is championing the cause.
In the abusive atmosphere of institutionalied greed and disregard for law that previals at present, whistleblowers are one of society's safety measures, and should be given more respect along with decent treatment.
To those who say the governmental and corporate interests outed by Wikileaks in this scandalstorm are the ones who are being violated, I paraphrase back an offensive concept that's been aimed at private citizens for twelve years too long: If you're innocent, you have nothing to fear.
Yeah. UnBeLIEVABLE bullshit.
If you weren't doing things you shouldn't have, then there wouldn't be any whistles to blow.
