Worldview presents a week of shows on National Security Whistleblowers, the people who blow the whistle on waste, fraud and criminal abuse in the executive branch. Unlike other federal employees, normal legal protections can be waived in the interests of secrecy. We explore the legal hurdles they face and try to find out how U.S. foreign policy has been shaped by the treatment of whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing inside military and intelligence agencies.
