Editor’s note: This article is based in part on the book by Frederick D. Lipman titled “Whistleblowers: Incentives, Disincentives, and Protection Strategies.”
In 2002, Time magazine selected three individuals as “Person of the Year,” each of whom was a whistleblower. All were women and all were whistleblowers in large organizations, namely, Sherron Watkins (whistleblower in Enron), Cynthia Cooper (vice president of internal audit for WorldCom Inc.) and Coleen Rowley (an FBI whistleblower). Watkins and Cooper are well known, but Rowley is not. After Sept. 11, 2001, Rowley documented how FBI Headquarters personnel in Washington, D.C., had mishandled and failed to take action on information provided by the Minneapolis Field Office regarding its investigation of suspected terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui.
