That person is Mike Klink. If you have not heard the name Mike Klink, well you should've because he is one courageous, ballsy man. Mike opened up his big fat whistleblowin' engineering inspector's mouth and told the nation how shoddy the materials and the poor craftman- ship that was being used on the Keysone Oil Pipeline. really is.
I have no idea why the President changed his mind on this issue, but I like to think that there still may be this thing known as poetic justice in the world.
Whisteblowers are kinda like "unofficial" civilian spies. They see something that ain't quite right, and is wrong wrong wrong and they tell somebody. The bigger "the ain't quite right" wrong wrong wrong the story, the bigger they will come after you. And so it goes with the Mike Klink story.

Mike Klink might've lost his job over his whistleblowin' on Bechtel, one of the major contractor's on the Keystone pipeline's use of shoddy materials and poor craftmanship. Bechtel might've made his life a living hell. That's what companies like Bechtel and Halliburton do.
But he did not lose his integrity or his soul.
And that makes all the whistleblowin' difference.
Mike Klink and his family should be proud of him.
We, all the bloggers and information disseminators are that's for sure.
He is a big man in more ways than one.
