In Their Own Words. . . .Sam Lebovic

“[I]t is easier . . . to debate the character of the [whistleblower] than to try to make sense of the substantive political issues they reveal, which are by definition complex and controversial.  But when the inevitable next leaker comes along, we should not take this easy road. . . .  Rather than debating the personality of the discloser, we should debate the political significance of what was disclosed.”

Sam Lebovic, professor of history at George Mason University, in his Boston Globe commentary on The Myth of the Lone Whistleblower.
