Well Dave, it doesn't take much to bust open a government conspiracy. All it takes is documentation. The kind of "whistle-blowers" we have had on UFOs so far are no different than other "witnesses" -- all they have is a verbal account, and typically a rather incredible one at that. If they could actually produce a study finding, a working schematic for an extraterrestrial mechanism, some genetic discovery that is currently unknown to science -- then they would be taken much more seriously.
Also, just as with the purported UFO conspiracies, there is the spy problem. What would keep Iraq, say, from sniffing out illegal genetic research in the U.S. and blowing it wide-open for the rest of the world to see? Foreign spy agencies are also another method for wistleblowers to anonymously get their info out, if their country does not protect them against persecution.
