Bush Administration policy

Is anyone aware of a Bush Administration policy that nuclear and government whistleblowers would be denied employment by any employer in the U.S., forcing them to be self-employed or to leave the U.S.? 66.19.243.155 (talk) 10:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

why no new bill?

I understand that the Whistleblower protection act had overwhelming support and was killed by an "anonymous hold" in the Senate. I do not understand why no new bill is introduced. Would the hold on the old bill (from a previous Congress!) have any effect (legal, psychological, political) on a potential new bill? --Austrian (talk) 21:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Information needed

The article makes a statement: "Specifically, the Federal Circuit has wrongly accorded a narrow definition to the type of disclosure that qualifies for whistleblower protection." Can someone provide more information on this? what disclosures are protected and which are not? Sephiroth storm (talk) 18:14, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
