Your definition would have made the Rosenbergs and Alger Hiss happy. I don't recall any patriotic motives in those two cases.

I found this a pretty good definition of "whistle-blowing" as used in common parlance. Before you react, remember that labeling something "whistle-blowing" does not imply anything favorable. Whistle-blowing may be unjustified or non-constructive or illegal and still be whistle-blowing. "Whistleblowing thus has three essential elements: * the perception by someone within an organisation that something is morally amiss within that organisation * the communication of that perception to parties outside the organisation * the perception by at least some of those in authority in that organisation that such a communication ought not to have been made." freedomtocare.org
