There's a new website that's specifically designed for whistle blowers.
It's called Wikileaks (www.wikileaks.org) and this is its mission statement:
"...an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interests are oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to those in the west who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their own governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact; this means our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by non-technical people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources."
The site has promise but it all depends on its ability to persuade people to leak information and documents to us. So far there's not much to see.
