Will Obama Keep His Promise to Federal Whistleblowers?

Bunnatine "Bunny" Greenhouse, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower lawyer Los Angeles, alleged the Halliburton contracting firm illegally obtained billions in government contracts related to its operations in Iraq during the Iraq War. Greenhouse told members of Congress the Halliburton contracts were "the most blatant and improper contract abuse I have witnessed during the course of my professional career." She was later demoted and had her security clearance revoked. Greenhouse refused to resign and is now focused on a stronger federal protection for whistleblowers.
