	Well, your wikipedia link doesn't counter anything I said. 

	Furthermore, I browsed a few of the links and that's not a
	list of  *government* whistleblowers - there are also
	people from the 'private'  sector, for instance

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Peeno

	Then, there there's old stuff 

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Marchetti

	"Marchetti published books critical of the CIA with author John
	D. Marks. The books included, The CIA and the Cult of
	Intelligence (1973).[4] Before this book was published, the CIA
	demanded that Marchetti remove 399 passages, but Marchetti
	resisted and only 168 passages were censored. " 

	lol - so 'only' 168 - and that actually says nothing about what
	the guy published. Maybe it was all irrelevant nonsense anyway.

	
	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Whitehurst

	"was a Supervisory Special Agent in the Federal Bureau of
	Investigation Laboratory from 1986 to 1998, where he went
	public as a whistleblower to bring attention to procedural
	errors and misconduct." 

	Doesn't sound too impressive. 

	I'm not going to waste any more time reviewing your
	list. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't check a
	single link. 

	All in all there are 150 people in that list, covering
	both the public and 'private' sector for 50 or more
	years. 

	So, out of probably millions of people having access to
	compromising information you have 150 whistleblowers? That's of
	course to be expected from a fascist society like the US.
