So Vance says he blew the whistle, supplying photos and documents and other intelligence to an FBI agent in his hometown of Chicago because he didn't know whom to trust in Iraq.
For his trouble, he says, he got 97 days in Camp Cropper, an American military prison outside Baghdad that once held Saddam Hussein, and he was classified a security detainee.

Typical.

Strange that the government is not more interested in pursuing claims like these, since it will help keep the cost of their war down.

That might be in the government of the American people's interest, but not at all in the interest of those individuals who populate the Bush administration. For their interests this war can't cost enough and can't last long enough.
