It's not a plot hole, it's just something that you, personally, don't understand.

He was in a hotel protected as implied by the script.
I don't care if he was protected by the CIA. In the first scene after the whistle blower gets in the back of the car and discloses that he was aware of the code red. the next scene in the movie had the JAG/played by Tom Cruise show up to a hotel with personnel standing outside the room in the hallway. Later in the movie the whistleblower commits suicide. I would assume if he is under ANY KIND of government protection, he wouldn't have left that hotel.
I doubt any type of witness protection by any agency would allow those they are protecting to carry firearms.
Only the US Marshal Service operates the Witness Protection Program. Sequestering a witness before trial isn’t the same as ‘witness protection’.
