Requests For White House and Department of Justice Reviews
The office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada—the state where MacLean was based out of when he made his disclosure—told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Senator Reid supports MacLean and another former Las Vegas Federal Air Marshal, Spencer Pickard. It further stated that it has asked the Obama administration to conduct a review of their cases with respect to Department of Justice/Office of Legal Policy Deputy Assistant Attorney General Rajesh De's testimony to the Senate on June 11, 2009. Deputy Assistant Attorney General De told the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' United States Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce and the District of Columbia that the administration "should" and "certainly" will consider the "retroactive review" of past whistleblower cases.

“Verily, the Indian has but a feeble hold on his bow now; but the curiosity of the white man is insatiable, and from the first he has been eager to witness this forest accomplishment. That elastic piece of wood with its feathered dart, so sure to be unstrung by contact with civilization, will serve for the type, the coat-of-arms of the savage. Alas for the Hunter Race! the white man has driven off their game, and substituted a cent in its place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Turn back. Turn, young lady dear
A murderer’s house you enter here
I was wooed and won little bird”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the great high-road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
