“Misconduct by those in high places is always dangerous to reveal.  Whistleblowers thus face conflicting impulses: by challenging and exposing transgressions by the powerful, they perform a vital public service—yet they always suffer for it.  […] whistleblowing, an important but unrecognized cousin of civil disobedience, has held powerful elites accountable in America.”

    Very dangerous to reveal especially if one exposes one’s identity. By doing it comprehensively but anonymously, the risk is tremendously reduced.
