Why is it different?

Submitted by scott (United States), Nov 30, 2009 15:31

Because the whistleblower is not offering anything additional analysis or weight to the e-mails. The whistleblower is doing just what the label suggests: blowing a whistle to draw your attention. It doesn't matter if he/she is a PhD or the janitor who found an open computer. Is this the same standard we want from "peer reviewers?"
