32. After ten years of persecution, the loss of his career, intimidation, his house raided

his family terrorized, ALL for doing the RIGHT THING, as he said, for taking his oath of office seriously?

You are using THIS to say Whistle Blowers have nothing to fear in this country?
See Pholus' post above and ask yourself if someone reporting a crime against the American People should have been treated this way?

"Well, I mean, it’s a relief that the long ordeal is over. Unfortunately, I ruined my career. I had loved working at the Justice Department, particularly in the Criminal Division. It was an honor to represent the people of the United States. As a result of that, I incurred significant legal fees, which I still owe. I borrowed money for those legal fees. And, you know, really, probably the biggest impact was on my family. I wasn’t home when the 18 FBI agents rammed through my house, but my wife was, and my kids were. My kids were awakened in their beds by strangers wearing guns. And I don’t think that they will ever get over that. My wife doesn’t feel the same way about our house, doesn’t feel as safe in our house."

TEN YEARS! Well if that is your idea of fair treatment of Whistle Blowers, and all Tamm did was to go to the press and tell them something illegal was going on that they needed to investigate??

You just MADE my point. No Way can a whistle blower stay in this country or THAT is what will happen to them at the very least.

Here's what SHOULD happen. A Whistle Reports a crime. If they reveal themselves they should be interviewed by the FBI and Congress. They should not be subjected to any intimidation, persecution, or anything else. Once it is established that crimes are being committed, arrests should be made. The Whistle Blower should be called as a witness. There should be no loss of a career, ten year persecution by the government etc.

Snowden did the right thing. No doubt he studied all these cases before deciding what to do.
