Department of Justice whistleblower Jesselyn Radack was profiled in-depth in Mother Jones magazine's January/February issue. Radack, a former Justice Department lawyer, recently filed a lawsuit claiming she was forced out of her job after questioning the legality of the government's interrogation of John Walker Lindh. Radack was then effectively fired from a subsequent job with a private D.C. law firm, after her whistleblowing at DOJ became known to the partners there. The article quotes extensively from C. Fred Alford, author of Whistleblowers: Broken Lives and Organizational Power, who says, "The most striking thing about Radack's story was the way the law firm behaved. It begins to look like there really is something called the System, and if you violate the rules in one part, there's no safe haven."
