Comments on: Protection for national security whistleblowers still needed http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2006/08/30/protection-for-national-security-whistleblowers-still-needed/ Protect yourself from government gaffes, bureaucratic blunders and incumbent incompetence Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jim http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2006/08/30/protection-for-national-security-whistleblowers-still-needed/#comment-10879 jim Wed, 24 Oct 2007 20:52:27 +0000 http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2006/08/30/protection-for-national-security-whistleblowers-still-needed/#comment-10879 Worth noting that Sibel Edmonds has protested that the real story is NOT her harassment/firing, but incriminating details she uncovered of a global criminal cartel's operations & membership, & of profoundly compromised State Department relationships with Pakistan, Turkey, & others - AG Ashcroft went so far as to extend a gag-order to the entire US Congress as well as herself to silence this story, citing "sensitive diplomatic relations" ... & the cartel's activities may well have included setting up &/or executing 9-11. The reason she's obeying the gag is that she insists on honoring her oath to obey US law, even when it's obviously stacked against her, pointing out that premature disclosure would get her immediately arrested - & that she's received threats of harm to her family overseas if she talks. She's a true hero, & almost no-one's even heard of her or her fight for disclosure.

The reason she’s obeying the gag is that she insists on honoring her oath to obey US law, even when it’s obviously stacked against her, pointing out that premature disclosure would get her immediately arrested – & that she’s received threats of harm to her family overseas if she talks. She’s a true hero, & almost no-one’s even heard of her or her fight for disclosure.

They are suing me for libel and slander, due in part because I reported them for defrauding the state of Texas for what may be millions. The story attracted local media attention via the Houston Chronicle and KHOU Houston news media. What rights do I have? I have spoken with an attorney and he said the company does not have a case. But, he wants $15,000 to defend me. The attorney is a local hero, but he is expensive. I don't have that kind of money. In fact, I'm poor and don't have any money to defend myself. Am I doomed? Can I ask the public to help me? I did the right thing. Please help! By the way, the company has hired a private investigator to monitor my every move. Go figure!
