“Whistleblower” (8 p.m., CBS): In 2005, Bunnatine Greenhouse held the top civilian post in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for approving all outside contracting. She spoke out about a $7 billion contract to help rebuild Iraq’s oil infrastructure in the wake of the U.S. invasion of that country. Greenhouse felt that the contract, which was awarded to KBR, a subsidiary of the oil services company Halliburton, was uncompetitive and overly generous in budget and duration. In addition, there was documented evidence suggesting that the office of Vice President Dick Cheney – who had formerly served as the CEO of Halliburton, KBR’s owner – had exerted influence in assigning the contract. Greenhouse says that, because of her opposition to the contract, she was retaliated against, demoted and ultimately, in an act of physical intimidation, someone rigged a tripwire in her office, causing her to suffer a serious accident. Refusing to let the “good ol’ boys” club get away with their violations, she filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit.
