E-mail screw-up blows the whistle on whistleblowers

If this is true, it's pretty staggering.

The House Judiciary Commitee of the US Congress set up a form on its website to collect tips on misdeeds in the US Department of Justice from whistleblowers. A staffer recently sent an e-mail to all the would-be whistleblowers and put all the addresses in the "TO:" field on the outgoing e-mail. Oh, and s/he copied vice_president@whitehouse.gov. Not good at all.
