Episode 19: Accountability at the FBI and the FAA

First, a long conversation with FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, who blew the whistle on the FBI?s lack of adequate process and organization prior to 9/11. She was selected as one of Time Magazine’s Co-Persons of the Year in 2002. Her story is fascinating, and brings up numerous issues involving national security and whistleblower rights. Then, a conversation with former Air Traffic Controller Peter Nesbitt, who exposed unsafe landing patterns (planes flying too close together) becoming too common at an airport. His supervisors retaliated against him for his brave disclosure to the FAA.
