National security whistleblowers boycott upcoming hearing

By Chris Strohm – Govexec.com – Nov 30, 2005

Groups representing national security whistleblowers urged a boycott Monday of an upcoming congressional hearing, saying their concerns and experiences will not be adequately represented by the witnesses who are scheduled to testify.

The House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations was planning a hearing Dec. 6 to examine whether agencies are unjustly revoking or suspending security clearances in retaliation against employees who speak out against wrongdoing.

Advocacy groups such as the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition and Concerned Foreign Service Officers, however, said the hearing should be postponed because the witness list lacks whistleblowers with firsthand knowledge of problems.
