Truth Telling in the Public Interest
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-04-23/truth-telling-public-interest
What motivates someone to speak out against injustice in the government or private sector? Without whistleblowers, we might never have known about abuses on Wall Street or the use of harsh interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects. But the decision to speak out often involves conflicting loyalties and harsh consequences. We explore how whistleblowers and other "truth tellers" navigate and overcome those issues.
