The following is the Rick Santorum excerpt from my interview with Sibel Edmonds on whistleblowers and the Dirty Dozen. This is Sibel speaking:
Senator Rick Santorum
Senate Finance Committee
Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference
Moving on - Santorum is equal to Hastert’s position - those two are exactly are the same - because he's the Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference - and he has the same position as Hastert. Talking to groups like GAT (they have been around for 25 years) - Santorum has been very consistent in terms of always standing against any whistleblower legislation - both in terms of directly blocking - and also his influence on other Republicans. As an aside, if someone like Grassley stands up for some whistleblowers, it's Santorum who says 'calm down - you don’t want to go too far with that - you don’t want to piss off the FBI, for example - we don’t want to see this sort of thing - so cool it off' - so Santorum has exactly the same position as Hastert - in terms of having a leadership position. Pennsylvania is just a short ride from here - I’ll be happy to get involved in this particular election.
