Jesselyn Radack '95, Justice Department whistleblower, Thursday, Sept. 30th, 4pm, room 129

Jesselyn Radack became a whistleblower after she refused, from her
post at the DOJ's ethics office, to approve of plans to interrogate
John Walker Lindh (the "American Taliban") without his attorney. When
the government later denied that anyone from her office had raised
ethical objections, her emails hit the pages of Newsweek, causing an
instant scandal that briefly derailed the confirmation of Judge
Michael Chertoff and got Radack hounded out of the Justice
Department. She will speak about the Lindh case, her role as a
whistleblower, and the Bush administration's ongoing efforts to
destroy her legal career.
