In more than four years of office, President Barack Obama has frequently praised the idea of whistleblowing. He even signed the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act into law in 2012. But has he actually praised any whistleblowers by name? That's a question The Huffington Post posed to several non-profits representing whistleblowers, and to the White House, in light of the news about the subpoenas the Justice Department used to obtain the phone records of journalists at the Associated Press.

Associated Press reporters are not alone. One week after news broke that the Justice Department secretly obtained phone records from AP, more news has emerged about the Obama administration's campaign to silence leaks. This time, it's new details about a 2010 Justice Department investigation into a Fox News correspondent who reported government secrets on North Korea. The twist is that in the Fox News case, the government is suggesting that the reporter broke the law and criminal charges could result.
