A Whistle blower doesn't have to release top secret information to the public, rather they follow the rules and submit it to the proper authorities.

Edit (in order to reply to David - I am somehow blocked from replying to him): I'm not the government. I don't have the legal right to start a war, or to sentence a person to death. If you don't like what I have to say, you can just ignore me. But you can't do that with a government that keeps secrets. Official secrecy robs you of the knowledge required to participate in democracy.
- _-david-_ 4y agoThat is ridiculous. If secrecy means there is corruption then give me all your usernames and passwords. If you don't then you are corrupt.
- helloworld11 4y agoThis and your previous comment suggest that you're either a troll or truly some unique level of narrow-minded fool. Do you simply defend and applauds any sort of self-serving government rules or characterizations of others because they have vague, nebulous state power justifications on their side? Whistleblowers often get fired or worse for "submitting to the proper authorities". History is loaded with cases of them doing just that only to be brushed off and the information they revealed to be buried even further in obscurity. Surely you can't be so dense as to not have read about just how easily and frequently this happens before labeling someone a traitor for going outside official channels to disclose conduct that even the responsible government admitted was BLATANTLY illegal in many ways?
