WHITE HOUSE ARGUES AGAINST WHISTLE-BLOWER RIGHTS: Bush administration lawyers "pressed the Supreme Court yesterday for a ruling that would make it harder for government whistle-blowers to win lawsuits claiming retaliation," the Associated Press reports. The case comes as Washington buzzes with talk that top Bush administration officials may soon be indicted for leaking the name of a covert CIA agent in retaliation against whistle-blower Joseph Wilson. Stephen Kohn of National Whistleblower Center "said that a victory for the government would mean 'whistle-blowers who expose waste, fraud, and corruption will have less constitutional protection than Ku Klux Klan members who burn crosses on their front lawns.'"
