“As a kind of whistleblower (even out of power and out of the government), Wilkerson certainly exposed himself to potential retaliation. Unlike former CIA official Valerie Plame, among others, however, he sees no evidence that he was targeted. Wilkerson self-deprecatingly suggests that he was spared because ‘I’m a small potato in the greater scheme of things and therefore few people listen to or heed my ramblings.’ But he notes another possible reason as well. ‘Those in power likely believe that I’m still close to Powell — and they very much do fear him as he knows where many of the skeletons are buried.'” – Turse in TomDispatch
