Bunny Greenhouse blew the whistle on the Army's contracting abuses in giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton to manage Iraq's oil after the invasion. Here, Bunny presents a copy of the book to her attorney, Michael D. Kohn:
“the most effective way to escape the reach of the MSPB and the Federal Circuit’s stranglehold on whistleblower claims is for those individuals who can raise a Title VII discrimination claim in to file a “mixed case” complaint with a federal agency’s Equal Employment Opportunity (‘EEO”) office claiming that the adverse action flowed from unlawful discrimination and as a result of having engaged in protected whistleblower conduct.”
