(10,953 posts)would be obligated to become a whistle blower if he finds out that he is working amongst a group of people involved in illegal/immoral activity that is contrary to the best interest of the American people. All that is required for evil to triumph is for men to do nothing. There have been several people for many years who tried to work within the system to report wrong doing and it is plain to see that that their lives were trashed and nothing was done about the wrong doers. I don't for the life of me see why people say that he should have worked within the system because the system is broken. I don't blame him for running as we now live in a country where torture, rendition, and spying on our citizens has become accepted. The country that exists today is not the country the my Dad and his brothers fought for during WWII. We are becoming the type of country that we stood up against in the past.
