An Uncertain Fate for the Whistleblowers Who Took on State Department's Inspector General
Washington Dispatch: The Blackwater investigation has fueled controversy about military contractors' abuses in Iraq. But it has also raised questions about where government whistleblowers can turn for protection.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee room teemed on Tuesday with one of Congress' busiest oversight hearings since the Democrats took power in January. Dozens of cameramen huddled in an erratic arc around the witness table. Print media writers crammed into the crowded audience. And the vast majority of guests were forced to watch the proceedings on a television feed in a different room altogether. We'd all come to watch Chairman Henry Waxman's promised whipping of the government's largest private military contractor, Blackwater USA, and its CEO, the wealthy former Navy SEAL Erik Prince. His company has been implicated in, among other things, shooting a security guard of the vice president of Iraq, instigating the bloody battle of Falluja, and, most recently, a September 16 shoot-out in Baghdad that resulted in the deaths of 17 Iraqis. But beyond illuminating Blackwater's conduct in Iraq, Waxman's investigation also raises questions about the rights of federal whistleblowers and about Congress' ability to protect them.
Most of the work Blackwater does in Iraq is contracted by the State Department, and typically, any inquiry into these events would fall to the department's inspector general, Howard Krongard.
But Waxman's committee has been investigating that very office, as well. Recently, seven people working for Krongard alleged that Krongard himself had, in Waxman's words, "interfered with ongoing investigations to protect the State Department and the White House from political embarrassment." Two of those whistleblowers—former Assistant Inspector General for Investigations John DeDona and his erstwhile deputy Ralph McNamara—resigned specifically because of Krongard's meddling.
How did Krongard respond? Allegedly by threatening to terminate anybody else who dared speak with congressional investigators. Two of his employees—special agents Ron Militana and Brian Rubendall—have agreed to speak out anyway.
According to Militana, Krongard's congressional liaison informed the duo that "the majority [Democrats] are not friends. The minority staff has been helpful...You have no protection against reprisal. You have no whistleblower protections. Howard could retaliate and you would have no recourse.
"Howard can fire you. It would affect your ability to get another job," the congressional liaison allegedly threatened.
Waxman, of course, was outraged by the threats and, in a September 28 letter to Krongard, he issued a warning of his own.
"I am appalled by these reports," Waxman wrote. "As an Inspector General, you hold a position of special trust within the federal government. Your office is supposed to be an example of how to protect whistleblowers, not an example of how to persecute them...You should be aware—and you should advise your staff—that Congress has passed civil and criminal prohibitions against threatening and tampering with witnesses, retaliating against whistleblowers, and providing false information to Congress."
But there's a catch. The prohibitions Waxman cites are enshrined in the so-called Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007—a comprehensive bill prohibiting retaliation against government whistleblowers that he sponsored, and which the House has indeed passed. But thanks to Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) it is currently on hold in the Senate, in a form that President Bush has threatened to veto anyhow.
In 1989, former President George H.W. Bush signed into law a federal whistleblower protection act of his own, but many of the provisions therein have since been nullified by a series of court orders, most recently the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Garcetti v. Ceballos, which stripped all government employees of their First Amendment rights whenever they're speaking in an official capacity. Waxman's bill aims to reanimate some of those eroded rights.
Stephen Kohn, a District of Columbia attorney and a national expert in whistleblower law, says all is not lost for Militana and Rubendall if they take the right steps—meaning, if they're aggressive enough to do an end-run around the executive branch.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel should be the place where government employees go for protection when dropping the dime on their superiors' corruption. But the office is now headed by a Bush appointee named Scott Bloch, who has a well-reported record of anti-whistleblower activities. "It's a losing proposition," says Kohn.
That leaves whistleblowers in the hands of the courts. "If they have testified to Congress [to a member or a committee or its staff] they are covered under the oldest whistleblower law on the books," Kohn explains. "Their recourse would be to go into U.S. District Court to get an injunction against any sort of adverse action."
There's no record comparing how responsive the District Court has been in protecting whistleblowers to the more direct route they would have under a better functioning Office of Special Counsel. Kohn says when his firm has turned to the courts, "generally things get ironed out." But that raises the bar on whistleblowing—only those with the fortitude (and financial resources) to do battle will step forward.
"The people who are being harassed for that have to assert their right aggressively," Kohn sums up, "or they'll be stepped on."

it is sooo amazing to me an ordinary citizen to be a witness to this era ( if u will) of americas existence... the greatest democracy on the planet ( supposedly) dismantled by a small handful of greedy, rich, fat old men and a few broads of whom everybody knows that all they do is lie and distort and misrepresent for their own personal gain any and every fact, situation, and event that is important to "WE THE PEOPLE".
and nobody has the moxie to stop them. where are all the checks and balances gone! nancy and harry pleeeeeeeeeeeeze do something surely there must be some legislators in washington with a conscience and moral values left. or

Follow the money. We have more private contractors in Iraq than US troops, and those contractors cost us more than if we'd just use military staff. But this is Bush's "privatization" mantra. Private contractors can give campaign contributions, the Department of Defense cannot. What else can you expect from a corrupt government?

This is an important issue. Historically, whistleblowers have proven to be moral and loyal patriots who believe that their actions have prevented further erosion of the law and inhibited others from acting illegally and unjustly. Everyone, from the lowliest employee to the chief officer or humblest patriot, has a conscientious duty to assist in the prevention of criminal offences, be they political or personal. Whistleblowers are an effective deterrent against the sophistication of these perpetrators. Often, a whistleblower stands alone though the knowledge that spurs one to action is usually held more universally. Whistleblowers most often act out of a sense that it has become too expensive not to speak out, that it will cost innocent individuals and institutions dearly to live in silence any longer. By the time a whistleblower speaks out, they have examined and been advised about the cost to them and their families. The inevitable press that follows such a public action works to further the checks and balances that are put into operation when we blow the whistlee on infringements against political, moral and economic principles that protect individuals and institutions. Protection for whistleblowers should be readily available and investigation follow swiftly upon the heels of their sacrifice. I fear we will have no development in that direction until we lose the current Republican administration. But I wonder how a government and its administrators will look upon whistleblowing whether they be Republican or Democrat with vested interest among themselves or their constituents to further secrecy that allows situations calling whistleblowers into action.

It is a violation of the Geneva Convention to use mercenaries,(soldiers of fortune). So companies like KBR, HALLIBURTON,BLACKWATER,etc...
“We're never going to war without the private security industry again in a non-draft environment," says former Marine colonel Jack Holly.
"In the military you work for apple pie, mother,and the American flag. In PSC you work apple pie, mother, the American flag, and the shareholders."

The question becomes with these private armies; where is their loyalty? With their Country or to the salaried employer?
I think the answer is self-evident!
This will eventually undermine our democracy, and possibly create as Mussolini called it; ''Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism as it is a merge of state and corporate power.''

I agree with this article. I am the FDIC Whistleblower. The FDICs Inspector General Jon T. Rymer appointed Banker of the Bush Adminsistration refuse to investigate evidence of Fraud. FDIC lawyers purchase of homes for Commercial Business ignored. FDIC Division of Finance (DOF) Director Frederick Selby bank signatory to infamous Kenneth Lay (Enron) Ignored. Wayne Madsen covered the fraud at FDIC. Ignored. FDIC reported corrupt offiials must be investigated. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair ignored reported Fraud.
FDIC Whistleblower
Related To NSA
Classified Docs Case
By Wayne Madsen

WMR has discovered there is much more to the government's harassment of Kenneth W. Ford. Yolanda Gibson-Michaels, Ford's second cousin, to whom he is close, filed major fraud and conflict of interests charges against Donald E. Powell, the chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and a close political ally and friend of George W. Bush who served as President of First National Bank of Amarillo, Texas and Chairman of the Board of Regents of Texas A&M University.
Gibson-Michaels, a whistleblower who worked for the FDIC Legal Division, uncovered fraud involving senior FDIC officials and scandals involving Bank Hapoalim of Israel, Bank Leumi of Israel, Russian-Israeli mob figures Vladimir Guzinsky and Arkady Gaydamak (a financial partner of Cheney while he was at Halliburton), Bank Leumi's Chairman Eitan Raff, SunTrust Bank of Florida (the bank from where the FBI's confidential informant Tonya Tucker (who stung Ford) received checks while she was in the Washington area, the Washington Field Office of the FBI, illegal Congo diamond trading involving DRC Resources Corporation, massive overcharging of the FDIC by outside counsel law firms, Saudi lobbyists in Washington, the Wells Fargo-Tejas merger, Tyco International, Enron off shore entities, and Halliburton. WMR will bring more details about this massive fraud involving the FDIC, described as a $3 trillion slush fund for Bush, Cheney and their business friends and associates around the world.
Considering Ford's cousin's high profile FDIC investigation (also involving Securities and Exchange Commission probes) of politicians and businessmen connected to Bush, Cheney, and Israeli interests, perhaps David I. Salem, the U.S. Assistant Attorney who was so quick to see Kenneth Ford sent to prison, should also have any of his possible connections to the Bush White House, the GOP, and Israel thoroughly investigated for potential conflicts of interest and criminal conspiracy.

I think the whole thing is dirty-filthy
rotten, probably has been for years,
and the only hope for any real reform
probably starts with having the Penta$cam drop its' books on the table,
but, hold your breath for that to happen, it's about as likely that they'd
do that as that the Vatican would cough
up the origin of its' money...
My view is, the mafia sells 'protection'
too, and the only, ONLY thing that
prevents the institution we call 'defense' from becoming what amounts to the Ubermob is public oversight. That there's ANY difficulty or controversy on this issue points to
longstanding, deep-seated problems
that'll likely continue to exist
unchallenged in Congress or elsewhere
until or unless there's widespread
public outcry for accountability.
Ultimately, authority and responsibility
for keeping our 'well-regulated militia'
rests with this administration, and
it was on THEIR watch that this multibillion dollar misadventure into Iraq took place, and it's at their feet
that the blame for such things ultimately rests.
MY vote says: http://www.impeachbush.org
and let Congress have a field day with
the budget pen.

This administration is very willing to destroy people lives and then go to church. What hypocrisy and contemptable Little George and Dick are. They are able to sleep at night while the men at Guantanamo are tortured. They are able to take lobbyist money and greedily spend it on themself. However, they don't have a problem, letting little children do without health insurance. These two people are without a shred of decency. Does anyone notice that they have committed so many felonies that they should have been impeached long ago? Why doesn't congress do their duty and impeach them? Why aren't they sent to the Hague as war criminals?
I think it is time that justice is served. Bush and Cheney failed to do their duty, in the 70's, in the war in Viet Nam. Georgie went AWOL and Cheney managed to avoid the draft all together. I think it is time that they serve their country. They created this war, go and fight it and send your daughters with you. This way you can support the troops and let your children go, as you would let other people's children go.So go fight the battle you failed to fight in Viet Nam.
They are the camels that will not be able to fit through the eye of needle. It will come back to haunt them.

Hello to all! I just went up against the Board Of Supervisors Tuesday, the 15th of July 2008! I accused them of Criminal and coruption.I am tired of thier retaliation.Thats right folks! You heard it! Its been a ruff road as they hurt me over and over again. The way they did it was nothing I ever seen before.But I am fighting the state of California, and suing them.Im sick of the cruelty.To myself, familys and children.I will be going back, as one person was not there? But he is as responsible as the rest. Look for the board meeting. See you soon.Thank you mother Jones for going out on a limb, to people, so they see what is happening.
