Is he a hero or a criminal?


A question occurs to me:

When a loyal, experienced insider goes through agony about whether to blow the whistle, and then finally does, does the dominant view of society *ever* later find that what they did was the wrong thing?

My impression is that with the passage of time, history always lands in on place of deep appreciation for their choice.

  Does anyone have counter-examples?
