Whistleblowing is NOT a good career move. It is a sure way to wind up at the local burger emporium flipping fries. jon

Whistleblowing is codified into the government. It's that important. Not when it deals with classified information, it doesn't. It is not generally known that the Whistle Blower Protection Act does not cover employees of the agencies within the intelligence community. The whistle blower statute also expressly proscribes the disclosure of information that is specifically required by Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs. In other words, classified information is not covered by the current whistle blower statute. Therefore, employees within the intelligence community are not protected from adverse personnel actions if they choose to disclose such information to Congress. fas.org But of course, all you would have to do is perform a search for "whistleblower act + classified information, and you would have known that. Do you always running around letting your mouth write a check your brain can't cash? Hawk
