Whistle blowing!!

One good example of a historically significant whistle blower would be W. Mark Felt, aka "Deep Throat", who was responsible for calling attention to the then President Nixon.  He reported to the Washington Post reports that Nixon was involved in the Watergate illegalities of 1972.  As we all know this lead to the resignation from office of President Nixon and two of his staff members also involved in Watergate served jail time.  I feel like this was a very brave, but ethical choice of Mr. Felt.  It takes a lot of courage to step up with condemning evidence about the President of the United States. I am personally glad that he brought this to light, and that the out come was the resignation of Nixon.
