Whistleblowers Concerned That Spy Agency Ombudsman Put on Leave
---------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., whistleblower groups have expressed concern after
the man charged with handling whistleblower complaints at U.S. spy
agencies was put on leave and marched out of his office earlier this
fall. Dan Meyer was the director of the Intelligence Community
Whistleblowing and Source Protection program, before he was put on leave
in late November. The Project on Government Oversight said, "This looks
like a blatant attempt to get rid of him simply because he is doing his
job."
