I’ve been listening to the excellent “Whistleblowers” series on RTE Radio 1. In the past it has featured interviews with Jeffrey Wigand (Brown and Williamson tobacco), Sherron Watkins (Enron) and Craig Murray (British Ambassador to Uzbekistan). Today the subject was Harry Templeton, a Glasgow printer who stood up to Robert Maxwell in the late 1980’s, and got duly shafted for his troubles.
Another story worth listening to is the tale of David Kaczynski, who discovered that his brother, Ted, was the Unabomber.

Craig Murray was on something similar on BBC R4. He was hospitalised with serious depression following a breakdown in Uzbekhistan, during a period in which he was being investigated for ‘financial irregukarities’. His psychiatrist told him, “You don’t need a doctor – you need a lawyer.”
Did you hear how he finally blew the whistle?
I’m going to have to go back and listen again – you would be forgiven for think ing that it was a fictional account.
