If a whistleblower came forward,
one on the order of John Dean of Watergate fame, where could they possibly take their information?
They couldn't take it to the Attorney General, it would get buried as "state secrets".
They couldn't take it to the media, it would get ignored.
They can't take it to congress, the Republicans would never open an investigation.

1. What about John Kerry?
Could he do anything? I know he closed down BCCI and has that whole Rumsfeld petition thing. So could he do something? I think he'd be the only one I'd trust there! I know Kerry is a lawyer, investigator and prosector.

4. Wouldn't they still have to
get the Judiciary to open an investigation? There is the stickler..the head mucky mucks of the House and Senate Judiciary committees are Republicans.

3. A whistle blower already did come forward...
She told America that the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 were hosted by the FBI.

That's when George W. Bush made his move to make whistle-blowing illegal.

8. He broke Abu Ghraib
and it got buried after a bit of flurry. Any whistleblower needs the media to bring their stuff to the public. Maybe Keith Olbermann. Let's hope someone walks out of the white house with a pile of papers someday soon.
