  do the committees that oversee the vast us spying apparatus take intelligence community whistleblowers seriously do they earnestly investigate reports of waste fraud abuse professional negligence or crimes against the constitution reported by employees or contractors working for agencies like the cia or nsa for the last  years the answer has been a resounding no 
  my own experience in  is illustrative over a twoyear period working with my wife robin who was a cia detailee to a senate committee at the time we discovered that contrary to the public statements by thenchairman of the joint chiefs colin powell and other senior george h w bush administration officials including cia director john deutch american troops had in fact been exposed to chemical agents during and after the  war with saddam hussein while the senate banking committee under thenchairman don riegle dmich was trying to uncover the truth of this officials at the pentagon and cia were working to bury it 
  at the cia i objected internally  and was immediately placed under investigation by the cias office of security that became clear just days after we delivered the first of our several internal briefings to increasingly senior officials at the cia and other intelligence agencies in february  i received a phone call from cia security asking whether id had any contacts with the media i had not but i had mentioned to cia officials wed met with that i knew that the cbs newsmagazine  minutes was working on a piece about the gulf war chemical coverup this call would not be the last id receive from cia security about the matter nor the only action the agency would take against us 
  in the spring of  a former manager of robins discreetly pulled her aside and said that cia security agents were asking questions about us talking to every single person with or for whom either of us had worked i seemed to be the special focus of their attention and the last question they asked our friends colleagues and former managers was do you believe pat eddington would allow his conscience to override the secrecy agreement he signed
