We all know the fish rots from the head, but in our society corrupted by the economically powerful, the corporations they run and the utterly corrupt, corrupting and corrupted Congress and Administration, only little people are blamed and punished (e.g. the Abu Gharib scandal, although they did manage to get rid of one of the only female generals in the Armed Forces in the process--just a coincidence).
People who did or did not compromise themselves, who did or did not follow company policy to the letter can and will be given up by the powerful to protect the powerful. Innocent or not innocent, the cost alone of our Rube Goldberg legal system will ruin many.
To protect yourself, Document, Document and Document what you did and were asked to do (corporations routinely destroy and "can't find" evidence in law suits; small storage devices can get a lot of documents out of the workplace discretely in most cases) and consider Whistle Blower status and protections if it looks like you are being set up.
As for always doing the right thing, whatever you did can be made to appear the opposite by people with the right levers on the right information and power.
Trust no one....
Pleasant dreams... And while dreaming, consider the political events of the last few decades and how your acquiescence to the corruption step by step has led to your being in such a chaotic and unpredictable position....time to wake up and take action.
