Tom Devine

Joan Brunwasser – November 12, 2011

My guest today is Tom Devine, legal director of the Government Accountability Project [GAP] and author of the newly released: The Corporate Whistleblower's Survival Guide: A Handbook for Committing the Truth. Welcome to OpEdNews, Tom.  Why did you write this book?

Thank you, Joan. It's an honor. Like many whistleblowers, I am a big fan of OpEdNews. The short answer is that I wanted to share 32 years of lessons learned helping over 5,000 whistleblowers. People who may be traveling the highest risk, highest principled road of their life should not have to proceed by trial and error.

On February 17, 2010 a group of whistleblowers gathered before an invited audience in New York City to share their experiences as defenders of the public interest. Included were two legendary figures: Daniel Ellsberg and Frank Serpico: both heroes whose stories have been the subject of movies.

The discussion ranged from the extraordinary abuses that they uncovered, to the reprisals that they faced for telling the truth, their struggle for vindication, and personal reflections on what they might have done differently.

Stronger whistleblower protection laws and national security dominate agenda

David Hutton – July 4, 2008

An impressive array of NGO leaders, civil rights lawyers and whistleblowers gathered in Washington, D.C. last week to review the current state of the nation and to share their plans for change.

The conference was organized by the Government Accountability Project (GAP), the leading U.S. whistleblower organization, and hosted by the American University Washington College of Law. More than 20 speakers took part, including former FBI employee Coleen Rowley, one of three whistleblowers featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 2002 as its Persons of the Year.
