Rough Interview Notes-- mostly my questions

You've been involved with the whistleblower community for a good number of years. What's your personal story that got you involved with the whistleblower community and whistle blowing?

  Empowerment zones and enterprise communities.

    HUD, USDA and HHS

The book is really great-- well written, riveting and fascinating.

Rathke

What is a whistleblower?

Exposes information". does it with clean hands.

         Sammy the Bull Gravano not a whistleblower, 

Article questioning whether Bradley Manning and Ed Snowden were whistle blowers. 

Who would have known that the documents describing the dictator president of Algeria would have started the Arab spring?

Daniel Ellsberg has said that Snowden could not have stayed in the US out of jail. 

National Security whistleblowers have no protections. What does that mean?

What are other forms of whistleblowers besides national security whistleblowers?

There are private corporate whistleblowers, government employees-- and that's where some progress has been made, but"

You have some interesting people giving you blurbs for your book-- John Fund and Glenn Beck-- those are right wingers. What's the story there?

What was your truth about ACORN that attracted Glenn Beck to it. 

It's a tragedy that ACORN was corrupted and lost support.

Why did Rand Paul receive the Pillar Award?

Marcia Fudge 

So whistle blower legislation has received bi-partisan support?

Whistleblowers play  an essential role in DEmocracy, working with journalists.  I'm worried about the way the Obama administration has gone after whistleblowers, attempting to turn them into criminals.
