@powder whistleblowers are usually, if not always, prosecuted by some arm of the company they turned on. Name one OBAMA personally prosecuted...i'll wait.......

@powder still waiting for an actual example...are you talking about people who breached national security?

@powder yup, like I said, national security act violation...i myself have held DOD Secret security clearances & the gov't has good reason for being serious about such things.
May I point out that the article you cite states, "SOME.......[feel]...... that Obama's administration rivals Nixon's in...secrecy" (caps mine). Hardly a fact of any kind!
And that The Long Island Press is a fairly obscure paper that caters to the Very wealthy elite of Long Island? I live just across The Sound in Connecticut......

@powder the "cold war" ended in 1945
