> anonymous whistleblower claims

Boy, oh boy do I wish there was a way for an individual to be anonymous but verifiable as a unique individual operating on a consistently used device.

Sybil be damned.

I don't think they were anonymous to the people they blew the whistle to. I think the people they blew the whistle to are keeping them anonymous to the public.

>Now, Representative Brad Wenstrup (R–OH) ... says his panel and the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a whistleblower “who presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer.”

There is PGP you know?

EDIT: obviously this only sort of solves for the "individual" side of your remark but it is something at least.
