Actually, there aren&#x27;t in practice. Every whistleblower that took the problems to them had their careers destroyed in one way or another while I.G. looked the other way. Then, they took it outside the organization to the press or the courts where they were found to be true whistleblowers. That it always comes to this shows those organizations are very corrupt and eliminating that from within is provably impossible given all the precedents. Whistleblowing and sometimes courts are the only working model.<p>&quot;But, as I noted, one also has to be humble enough to recognise that just because one thinks something is wrong or illegal, that doesn&#x27;t mean that it is.&quot;<p>Did you ever see the actual court cases on these things? The NSA&#x27;s rep said the judicial system has basically no part in anything they deem classified. Whether there&#x27;s a crime or not, they can&#x27;t question it and it can&#x27;t be punished. We&#x27;ll be humble once we see it from their side first.
