This is ridiculous. For better or worse his name is already public record. It reminds me of when the military ordered enlisted people not to read the Wikileaks publications, even as the Wikileaks info was published everywhere and read by everyone.

Whistleblowing laws don't guarantee a right to anonymity. They just protect from harassment on the job and firing. The WB law that relates to the CIA only prevents the Inspector General from releasing the WB's name.
