In times of universal deceit......
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act.
George Orwell

Go ahead, just cross them.... your career, credits and patriotism be damned.

Whistle-Blower or Troublemaker, Bunny Greenhouse Isn't Backing Down

By Neely Tucker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 19, 2005; Page C01

Bunny Greenhouse was once the perfect bureaucrat, an insider, the top procurement official at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Then the 61-year-old Greenhouse lost her $137,000-a-year post after questioning the plump contracts awarded to Halliburton in the run-up to the war in Iraq. It has made her easy to love for some, easy to loathe for others, but it has not made her easy to know.

In late August, she was demoted, her pay cut and her authority stripped. Her former bosses say it's because of a years-long bout of poor work habits; she and her lawyer say it's payback for her revelations about a politically connected company.

1. This is just so sad and so blatant that it makes me want to cry.
This is a true patriot.

Since this woman is the kind of person on whom a civilized government depends.

The list gets longer and longer, and a lot of these folks are women:

Valerie Plame
Bunnatine Greenhouse
Karen Kwiatkowski
Sibel Edmonds
Andrew Eller, Jr (he's still there, but they're trying to fire him)
Indira Singh
Tommy Hook
Rory Mayberry
Ben Carter
Ken May
Jane Turner
James Bobreski
Bassem Youssef

And these are only the few that I've been able to find information on ......how many more are there? This doesn't count those who died by "self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head"....
