Sorry no I can't take credit for that.
The only one that can take credit for that is Don Nelson who sent a warning to President Bush in the summer, and in dec the President said no he would not stop the program.

Whistle blowers are only useful after a disaster, in every organization, there will be naysayers for all sorts of reasons (being skip over for a raise, a promotion, bad blood with teams, internal politics) - hard to know ahead of time if the complains are valid...
I am getting tried of these i told you so recriminations - it adds zero value to the situation...
NASA found out the falling foam installation one day after the launch, even if it find something si wrong with the heat tiles at that time, there is NOTHING NASA or the astronauts can do...
the only thing NASA can do now is to revisit the design of the foam insulation units or find out the real cause for the tragedy...recriminations or all the I told you so stuff means little...
btw - related to Iraq - I wonder if we dont move on to get rid the WMDs Saddam got, and we get some terror attacks here some year down the road, what will the naysayers will do then...or should the hawks play the I told you so game...personally, I think after the incidence, all the recriminations will serve zero purposes...
