WASHINGTON (AP) - Scott Bloch may be one of the most provocative government officials you've never heard of.
As the head of a small federal agency known as the Office of Special Counsel, Bloch is charged with protecting the rights of federal workers and ensuring that government whistle-blowers aren't subject to reprisal.
Since the 48-year-old lawyer took over the job in January 2004, he has been vilified by the left, become a cause celebre for the right and gotten slapped down by the Bush White House.
