Radack is a member of the whistleblower-support organization, Government Accountability Project, and a former ethics adviser to the Justice Department. She became a whistleblower herself after raising concerns about the interrogation of “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh.

My Comment: He is busy now .... but with time I know that he will need his "U.S. fix". Regular readers of this blog know that my nationality is Russian .... and while I now live in Canada .... once or twice a year I do need my "Russian fix" (i.e. Russian food, conversation, the air, the water, the culture, etc...).
