The converse between "whistle-blower" is "cover-up". When one sees 
potential wrong, be it ethically or regulatory wise, a professional 
has the obligation to speak out. This should include working through 
the defined channels. If this results in failure, then one must do 
what one must. To do otherwise is really pathetic. If one sits back 
and does nothing, then that person is essentially not acting in a 
responsible manner, and, as far as I am concerned, just taking up 
space and being paid for it.
