Nathan Newman points to an executive order signed by President Bush yesterday which, he claims, eviscerates the protection intended to be provided to whistleblowers who come forward against corporate fraud under the new act just passed.

On my own reading of the executive order, and a scan of the bill, he appears to be right.

You can find the full text of the bill here -- I think this is the final version that was signed into law, but am not certiain -- somebody with more Thomas experience than I, please confirm or correct. A direct link to the relevant part of the bill is here.

Bad President. No Treats.
