The war on whistleblowers, when we should be valuing them for their
significant role in accountability and transparency in government and
business. I know of this personally, as I blew the whistle on the
professional liability insurance industry. What I revealed were
legitimate ethical and legal violations. And yet I was thereafter
shunned by honest brokers in the industry that did not participate in
such behavior because of some sick code that you just don't turn on your
industry no matter what they do. We see the same dynamic with police
abuse, where even the good cops refuse to expose and/or denounce bad
cops. Loyalty is a good thing, but not in these situations.
