In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11." These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies. As Sibel has previously described, and as she reiterates in this latest interview, this process involved using Turkey (with assistance from 'actors from Pakistan, and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia') as a proxy, which in turn used Bin Laden and the Taliban and others as a proxy terrorist army. Control of Central Asia The goals of the American 'statesmen' directing these activities included control of Central Asia's vast energy supplies and new markets for military products. The Americans had a problem, though. They needed to keep their fingerprints off these operations to avoid a) popular revolt in Central Asia ( Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan), and b) serious repercussions from China and Russia. They found an ingenious solution: Use their puppet-state Turkey as a proxy, and appeal to both pan-Turkic and pan-Islam sensibilities. Turkey, a NATO ally, has a lot more credibility in the region than the US and, with the history of the Ottoman Empire, could appeal to pan-Turkic dreams of a wider sphere of influence. The majority of the Central Asian population shares the same heritage, language and religion as the Turks. In turn, the Turks used the Taliban and al Qaeda, appealing to their dreams of a pan-Islamic caliphate (Presumably. Or maybe the Turks/US just paid very well.) According to Sibel: This started more than a decade-long illegal, covert operation in Central Asia by a small group in the US intent on furthering the oil industry and the Military Industrial Complex, using Turkish operatives, Saudi partners and Pakistani allies, furthering this objective in the name of Islam.

Aren't you even a little bit curious as to how a person who worked as a translator for 7 months in a Washington DC field office had access to the alleged information? I mean just a little curious?

Oh I sure am.
But when I think about all these DOD and CIA officials who's been dealing with a massive quantity of totally insane secret infos and still don't want to reveal one bit of it, I'd say that someone who's not so entangled in high-level State affairs is more likely to come out of the closet. She's a workers in linguistics, who's both not so politically involved in State affairs while having worked at one of the most crucial fields of the intelligence business... yes, something as "lowly" as translation is very crucial when it's about making major serious deals and plotting with foreign warlords, politicians and activists who aren't very fluent in english.
Moreover, I'm not bringing this info on this forum because I fully endorse these claims, but rather because it's damn interesting to look into, and these claims can lead up to a major revelation if we get to find proofs or evidences to support them.
Read and research...

Of course, isn't that why he had family flown out of the area that very day on 9/11. I might be remembering a bit off, but if I recall correctly, they were in the air when no other planes where authorised

Now, on to Sibel Edmonds. Have any of the rest of you noticed that her story is growing as time passes?
Not to mention the ridiculous idea that as an interpreter hired AFTER 9/11/01....to work for the FBI...she had access to CIA files......hmmmmm......

Yep, you are remembering a bit off. The Bin Laden family WAS gathered to one location in the United States after most aircraft were grounded. There, the FBI interviewed several members of the family and only after the FBI had gotten their questions answered, was the Bin Laden family allowed to leave the U.S.....AFTER airline service had resumed.

So for the benefit of the U.S. media, and other readers, who may find it helpful for this large body of newly-available information to be culled down into more digestible pieces, I will attempt to break down the deposition, a bit, into some of its subject matter-based component parts. I will try to go through the major disclosures from the deposition, one-by-one, in a series of pieces which might help others to further report and/or investigate these breathtaking disclosures from a former FBI official who, following 9/11, listened to and translated wiretap recordings made from 1996 through 2002, in the FBI’s counterintelligence and counterterrorism departments, under top-secret clearance.
