Another whistleblower

and what a suprise, she is a woman.

Add Bunny Greenhouse to the list of female whistleblowers. See story about her just aired on NOW with David Brancaccio and information about her legal defense fund.

Members of this growing club of female whistleblowers include Cynthia Cooper (WorldCom), Colleen Rowley (FBI) and Sherron Watkins (Enron, of course). I am not sure if my hunch that whistleblowers are more likely to be women is supported by good data. The power structure of our society at all levels protects men, and not women. Women have less to lose, maybe, by being a whistleblower. Men are seduced by membership in the old boys clubs. With all the rights and privileges that membership brings them come obligations, no doubt.

Again nothing new here, just me saying I am glad women are out there calling it as they see it.
