Lynda Hurst (Toronto Star): Patriot Whistleblower, Part 2

[Dudley_DUright]

Probably old news to many of you, but Theodore Postol, MIT physicist, is a true fearless patriot in my book.

Most whistleblowers are nervous wrecks. Exposing fraud or wrongdoing creates enemies, and most seek anonymity once the deed is done. Upsetting the status quo is a pursuit you don't do twice.

Unless you are American physicist Theodore Postol.

In which case, you will publicly attack your government twice in one decade. And, this time round, you'll also throw in your employer — one of the world's most renowned universities — accusing it of covering up a scientific fraud.

The fraud in question is the viability of the Pentagon's much-vaunted missile-defense system, aimed at defending the continent against long-range ballistic missile attack by rogue nations or terrorist groups.
