'Gag Ordered' Former Translator Seeks to Tell Congress and the American People What She Knows
Online Petition Launched Calling on Congress to Hold Joint Public Hearings by the Senate and House Judiciary Committees to Finally Allow the Truth of Her Allegations to be Told...

She's fought her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. It was the very same day that the façade cracked on the front of the building and a chunk of marble -- just above an allegorical statue representing "Order" and just below the words "Equal Justice" -- came crashing to the ground. The highest court in the land refused to hear her case.

Along the way, the Dept. of Justice has done everything in their power (and then some) to keep her quiet. They invoked the rarely used "State Secrets Privilege" to shut her up -- going so far as to use it, without explanation, to remove her and her own attorneys from the courtroom when arguing their case against her.

In at least two unclassified Senate briefings, FBI officials confirmed the validity of her reports, but the information from those briefings was then retroactively classified by the DoJ -- which served to gag the Congress from further investigation on the matter! The DoJ even retroactively classified a 60 Minutes profile on her -- after it had already aired.

14. Remember Zaeef's old boss?

"The Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, who had been in Guantanamo prison for
some time, has been released with the help of the reconciliation programme," state
run Kabul National Television said.Zaeef had met the head of the reconciliation
programme, former president Sibghatullah Mojadidi, the television said. It gave no details and
Mojadidi was not immediately available for comment.
....
Zaeef's old boss, former foreign minister Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil who surrendered to U.S. troops
after the Taliban's ouster and was detained for about two years.

Where is Salam Zaeef Taliban Ambassador?

EX-STATE DEPT.SECURITY OFFICER SPELLS OUT 9/11 COVER-UP

Q A question yesterday was also how does someone become an
ex-terrorist, if you will, member of the Taliban?

MR. ERELI: Well, I guess -- all I can tell you about that is
that at the time he applied, for the purposes for which he wished the

United -- to come to the United States, and based on a review of his
activity in the past, it was determined that there was no basis for
ineligibility.

Put in simple English, I think what you can conclude from that is
-- well, if -- I don't know that if -- if he was indeed a member of
the Taliban, being a member of the Taliban, in and of itself, is not
-- was not necessarily and is not -- was not necessarily at the time,
given what he was doing and what -- he wanted to come to the United
States, a grounds for ineligibility.

[savemefromdumbya]

18. Hope she's not travelling in a small plane soon

she'll need enormous bodyguards

[hang a left]

19. How is she gonna get around that State Secrets thingy???

Certainly Gonzales will not let her play.

[NVMojo]

20. may she follow through!!! Please, please!!!

[BradBlog]

21. Thanks Cali!

Thanks for getting this over here!

Again, this breaks late Friday, so efforts to Kick and Nominate are appreciated to ensure it gets in front of as many eyeballs as possible.

More to come on all of this, of course, but for the moment, Sibel needs YOUR help! Read the story, sign the petition!

Brad

[cascadiance]

32. Thanks Brad for doing what you are doing!

It's great to have someone like yourself helping her get more visibility! Somehow, I still wonder if it's going to be an uphill battle to get congress to consider this hearing or not. That is, unless we get some *huge* numbers of signatures and people demanding that she be heard quickly. If we could get a 10th of the attention that the U.A.E. ports issue is getting, I think we might have a shot. Perhaps we need to get moveon.org, DFA, PDA, or other bigger organizations to also send solicitations out for signing this petition too.

[newscott]

22. I may be a bit dense

but how the heck does the petition work?

You send it to yourself?

I'm a little unclear about what is going to happen to it after I put all my information in it.

:shrug:

[texpatriot2004]

24. Thank you Sibel and thanks to the Bradblog too nm

29. oops it works now

[Kenergy]

30. Done, K&R...

She's a brave lady. I admire her.

[cascadiance]

31. Funny thing when the petition picked my congress critters to mail...

It picked both Senators Feinsten and Boxer (expected), and both Duncan Hunter AND the now in prison "honorable" Duke Cunningham! That will be a no-op! :) Brad, is it supposed to not send it to Cunningham and send it to Duncan Hunter instead (who's not my congressman, though perhaps is my "surrogate" congress critter for the time being until at lest April 11th).

[Roland99]

33. Kick!

[hwmnbn]

35. signed, and kicked ............nt

[EVDebs]

36. The total number of whistleblowers during this administration is truly

SCANDALOUS ! Sibel will probably have Salma Hayek play her once this story finally gets to be told. 9-11 and the other scandal, Ptech with whistleblower Indira Singh, will have to be explored also.

Bush's actions speak louder than words. They are complicit in covering up SOMETHING on 9-11, on this everyone can agree.

[HuffleClaw]

37. WHAT is it that they are so scared of her revealing exactly ?

911 LIHOP i'm guessing.

[sattahipdeep]

50. Timeline?

January 2002: The United States opens the prison at
Guantanamo. Most of the men now there were captured in 2001
during the U.S.-led war that drives the Taliban from power in
Afghanistan.


Aug. 29, 2005: Rakoff orders the government to ask each
detainee whether he or she wants personal identifying
information to be turned over to the AP as part of the lawsuit. Of
317 detainees who received the form, 63 said yes, 17 said no,
35 returned the form without answering and 202 declined to
return the form.

And willing to put her life and personal liberty on the line for this act. Whatever it is, she doesn't think waiting is an option any longer, apparently.

[sattahipdeep]

45. True enough.

Whatever it is.... fissile material?

How does someone become an ex-terrorist?

Taliban Phenomena was itself a creation of US CIA/ISI Business Conglomerate.

Q A question yesterday was also how does someone become an
ex-terrorist, if you will, member of the Taliban?

Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil, the Taliban foreign
minister, made a secret visit to Islamabad earlier this week to
discuss the crisis with Pakistani intelligence agents.

Mr Zaeef said: "There is no rift within the Taliban. Muttawakil
is in Kandahar. He can die but he cannot defect."

49. "Ready to Talk"??? I saw the same old stuff, plus "sign my petition"

Am I missing something? I didn't see any news there at all, Late Breaking or otherwise. Just a rehash of the old SE saga, and BB's petition.

Where did "Folks, it looks like she's ready to talk now!" come from?

I'm tired now, and cranky, and badly need a nap. Is there actually something there, and I just missed it? 48 replies on this topic so far, and there's nothing there?
