This shows that Davis was right in his essay that most whistleblowers bring information forward at great risk to themselves. Most workplaces have a "Whistleblower Protection" rules somewhere (I know my job does) but they do not really want you to bring forward information.

The big question that WikiLeaks poses for traditional journalism is: have you done your job properly? Have you been tough enough on authority? WikiLeaks is a challenge to say; is your journalism really holding power to account?"

Corruption in the business world extends much farther than just between businesses. In this case an entire government is corrupt and the businesses providing the bribes are helping it to remain that way.

An example of big business turning a blind eye to not only an ethical dilemma, but also a legal one. The countries that buy tobacco have laws in place banning child labor as does the supplying country. The word "help" is used instead of work to cover up the use of small children in dangerous situations.

Most of these people actually do know at the core the difference between right or wrong and they know what to do with it. They know how to intellectualize what they would do with it.

That is where you find people cutting corners, taking short cuts, and doing stupid things
