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.'"
