CLA's policy on public interest disclosure - whistleblowing

CLA supports the right of people to make a public interest disclosure - ie be a whistleblower* - for the good of the community, to safeguard individuals or groups and/or to ensure that wrongs are corrected. People in authority should respect, not penalise, those who take a stand against corruption or complacency.

CLA advises anyone thinking of making a public interest disclosure to contact Whistleblowers, or CLA, for case histories before taking any action.

Definition: A whistleblower is someone who reveals wrongdoing, in or by an organization, to the public or to people in authority. The formal term is 'public interest disclosure'.

This man is THE 21st century hero....he has found a way to make governments and corporations answerable for their actions and thoughts....a passive way to tame the world....he is a hero and history will surely recognise him that way..as long as he is able to stop the ppl in power writing history the way they want it to read.....big brother now how someone watching him....how sweet is that!
