Kafkaesque IRS Hounds Black Liquor Critic Who Should Instead Be Rewarded

After years of inaction and improper actions that enabled U.S. paper companies to milk billions of dollars in black liquor tax credits, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has finally found a culprit.

It's not the elected officials who might have pressured the IRS to twist the laws and look the other way, or the IRS officials who did their bidding, or the paper companies who were allowed to siphon money that was supposed to prod development of biofuels. No, the IRS is going after the whistleblower in its midst who had the audacity to help expose the scandal.
