Last week on "This American Life," Chicago Public Radio’s overwhelmingly popular radio show, thousands of listeners heard the riveting story of DOJ whistleblower Rick Convertino. Mr. Convertino is a former top United States Prosecutor who successfully prosecuted the first terrorist case after 9/11.

Mr. Convertino is currently pursuing a privacy act violation case against the Department of Justice.
