D'Oh: House Panel Screw-Up Reveals Whistleblower Email Addresses By Paul Kiel - October 26, 2007, 10:07PM Here's a whoops with a capital W. This summer the House Judiciary Committee launched an effort to collect tips from would-be whistleblowers in the Justice Department.

Although the panel said it would not accept anonymous tips, it assured those who came forward that their identity would be held in the "strictest confidence." But in an email sent out today, the committee inadvertently sent the email addresses of all the would-be whistleblowers to everyone who had written in to the tipline.

George Orwell fans, rejoice.
