I just wonder how a linguist would be in on SO MUCH incriminating information. Seems kind of odd to me.

I know linguists who work for the feds. Isn't it quite obvious why they, of all people, would be in on SO MUCH incriminating info? They are relied upon to explain recorded phone calls that their white-bred superiors can't understand due to the languages involved.

Edmonds' case is only tangential to 9/11, from what has been revealed so far in the London Times and elsewhere, but it came to light due to 9/11.

She is natively fluent in Farsi and arabic and was approached by the FBI after 9/11 to go through a huge backlog of intercepts. She uncovered the plot reported in the Times--high USG officials bribed to facilitate the placing of Turkish moles in sensitive positions to allow them to pillage US nuclear secrets, which were sold on the black market by Turkey, Israel and Pakistan, and the resulting stonewalling of these revelations by the FBI.

She also uncovered the most important mover of all this, the American Turkish Council, or ATC, which is ostensibly a Turkish lobby but on whose board sit reps of many major American military contractors--Boeing, Northrop, etc. She was approached to join the org. by co-workers already there, and realized the FBI was infiltrated. She reported this, too, to her superiors, all the way to AG Ashcroft, and was fired as a result.

The essence of her claims were contested in a wrongful dismissal suit she initiated, and this is when she was slapped with the State Secrets gag, which is so rarely used most people don't even know it exists.

The most interesting recent revelation is the connection between Edmond's case and that of Valerie Plame, the CIA operative outed by the Cheney cabal, whose front company Brewster Jennings was working on nuclear arms proliferation in the Near and Middle East, and also had the ATC in its sights.

Of course, ostensibly, to fight the GWOT, nuclear proliferation intelligence is of the highest importance, yet in both cases you see the exec. branch undermining the work of the FBI and CIA, destroying extremely important assets that in the case of Plame took decades to set in place.

This case is horrifying.

I have been following Sibel's case for years. She is 100% legit and will make ZERO dollars....she has spent over 50k of her own on lawyers just to stay out of some secret prison...The first Atty. Gen. to slam an Official Secrets order on her was CHERTOFF, the guy who sent the 5 Dancing Israeli's home to the MOSSAD without any charges.

Then, the scum Ashcroft did the same thing. The FBI internal investigation found that Sibel was truthful, and that she had been fired for telling the truth. What more is needed? The Senate is hiding the facts, because it would blow up an election year into a huge international criminal scandal that would touch on so many Neocon perps that the Repub. party would never lift it's head again for a 100 years.

The crimes that Sibel has CONFIRMED with documentation are wide reaching, from Washington major players to the White House itself. If Sibel manages not to get murdered by the US government, she can make mincemeat out of the entire corrupt Bush cabal. She is, again, 100% true and a real patriot.
