BusinessWeek on Whistle-Blowing

Quoting Edmund Burke -- "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" -- columnnist Patricia O'Connell takes the reader through several whistleblower lives before turning to the most famous of them all: Deep Throat. She explores the dangers whistleblowers face -- the fact that "[f]or every person who thinks it's noble, someone else thinks such a break in ranks is the ultimate disloyalty." A reflective read, as is this one in the Boston Globe or this one from the Christian Science Monitor. Finally, E. Howard Hunt on the plumbers, Nixon and Felt.
