"The underling on a middling government salary " I suspect many of them have already secretly created vast stores of copies of correspondence, recordings, etc. they haven't told anyone about, sitting on hard drives, flash drives, printed out, all concealed on their grandparents' farmland or in well marked caches on forgotten BLM land. They are not all idiots.

I thought as much myself. I certainly would have done so. Not only to protect myself, but, let's be honest here, there might be a possibility of $$$ one way or another.

That would be the smart thing to do. That's what I suspect Karpinski did when they demoted her for Abu Graibh, told them she'd write a book telling all the details of who ordered what, and it worked, because they quietly repromoted her afterward.
