Oh lordy... I just read Barry's post:
"The "Whistle Blowers Act" was made null & void by the Bush administration. That's why there are no more whistle blowers, they have been effectivly silenced & made to swallow their own whistles. "

no wonder! I was not aware that they had removed THAT threat to their autocratic rule, too. First habeas corpus, then signing statements...then.....

What part of "lack of recourse to abuse of power" do some of you rabid Conservatives not understand?
