Sibel Edmonds still blowing that whistle..

February 20, 2008 by Dusty 

Not that our big national media giants will run with this story, but still..she is getting some American press just the same. The Murdoch-owned TimesOnline did a big writeup the beginning of January. Sirens’ posted an article by Lew at Unbrainwashed about this whistleblower back on January 10th.

Sibel is a former FBI Translator that has plenty of dirt on BushCo. Alternet has an interview with Ms. Edmonds here. The Blogosphere is rife with posts about Ms. Edmonds. If your unfamiliar with her story..shame on you. Henry Waxman promised her he would dig into it and hasn’t. From a National Review writeup on her:

But Congress has refused to act, and the Justice Department has shrouded Ms. Edmonds’ case in the state-secrets privilege, a rarely used measure so sweeping that it precludes even a closed hearing attended only by officials with top-secret security clearances. According to the Department of Justice, such an investigation “could reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the foreign policy and national security of the United States.”

Ah yes..States Secrets Privilege..the bitch that keeps everything in the dark and hidden from public view. BushCo is the king that uses that card quite liberally for anything and everything.

I would like to suggest you read some of the links contained in this post, especially the recent interview at Alternet. Perhaps after BushCo leaves office we will get to the bottom of this smarmy bullshit..one can hope right? Because I don’t believe any of it will see the light of day while the Decider is still in office.

    That is pretty screwed up! You can’t speak the truth because “ itcould reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the foreign policy and national security of the United States.” That means you can do what you want? What the hell is that? I’ll be a son of a bitch. Frig!

    Good evening Jim!
    This whole situation will never be resolved whilst BushCo is still in charge..the States Secrets bullshit will trump everything. It always has for him, with his hand-picked Judge’s.

    Talk about a true American Hero. I heard she was going to resist the gag they put on her. I presume this is the interview. I’ve got to check it out. Thanks Dusty.

    I too will check it out. I am appalled, but not shocked that BushCo is once again hiding behind their executive privilege, yet they say they want to create democracies around the world. How about perfecting ours first?
