It is my belief that McClellan's loyalty to George Bush ended when he was fired, and that ethically there is nothing wrong with him revealing everything he knew, within reason of course, about what went on in the White House. I believe that his ethical loyalty should be allowed to expire once he is no longer being paid. Of course, I do think he would still have an ethical responsibility to uphold and keep secret any national security or safety information that he was made aware of during his employment.
During his employment, I am sure there was an internal struggle within himself to decide what to reveal because of his responsibility to the public versus his responsibility to his boss. The public deserves to know what is going on inside the White House, but the government also should be able to reserve some information. The golden median has to be found between these two extremes with the hopes that the right decision is made.
