Sibel Edwards finally speaks

[DRoshani]

By Sibel Edmonds and Philip Giraldi

Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell. She went to work as a Turkish and
Farsi translator for the FBI five days after 9/11. Part of her job was
to translate and transcribe recordings of conversations between
suspected Turkish intelligence agents and their American contacts. She
was fired from the FBI in April 2002 after she raised concerns that
one of the translators in her section was a member of a Turkish
organization that was under investigation for bribing senior
government officials and members of Congress, drug trafficking,
illegal weapons sales, money laundering, and nuclear proliferation.
She appealed her termination, but was more alarmed that no effort was
being made to address the corruption that she had been monitoring.

A Department of Justice inspector general’s report called Edmonds’s
allegations “credible,” “serious,” and “warrant[ing] a thorough and
careful review by the FBI.” Ranking Senate Judiciary Committee members
Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have backed her
publicly. “60 Minutes” launched an investigation of her claims and
found them believable. No one has ever disproved any of Edmonds’s
revelations, which she says can be verified by FBI investigative
files.

John Ashcroft’s Justice Department confirmed Edmonds’s veracity in a
backhanded way by twice invoking the dubious State Secrets Privilege
so she could not tell what she knows. The ACLU has called her “the
most gagged person in the history of the United States of America.”
