Assume for an insane moment that he were a whistleblower. Is a whistleblower allowed to whistleblow to the New York Times? (Or as Ann Coulter is wont to say, The Treason Times.)
Isn't the statute pretty specific as to the procedures a whistleblower must follow in his/her whistleblowing?
("You just put your lips together and blow.")
As Rush pointed out. This guy is a leaker.
Whistleblowers are supposed to report suspected wrong doing to an internal agency so the problem can be investigated internally without compromising security for instance.
This fired employee went public - that's a leaker/traitor.
You have to wonder how many Americans will die because of Tice's leak.
Two names that popped out at me were Larry Johnson and Daniel Ellsberg.Looks like another Hate-Bush outfit.
