Sibel Edmonds: Do we have a prayer of that info becoming public ?

[steve2470]

I know her situation is before the court now. Does anyone have any wisdom about this ?

1. Sibel Edmonds will run ads naming NAMES if Congress doesn't act

This gives me hope



If Congress does not take action, Edmonds said, the coalition is prepared to run newspaper ads publicizing the names and salaries of individual managers who are alleged to have committed wrongdoing.

[mmonk]

4. Go Sibel!

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. That's if she's not 'SUICIDED' before then.

:scared:

[Just Me]

17. I have to assume she is prepared for the possibility of prison time.

She appears to have a helluva support-system, though.

I totally admire her incredible courage.

:hug: for Sibel.

6. Recent interview with Sibel

'The Stakes Are Too High for Us to Stop Fighting Now'
An interview with FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds
by Christopher Deliso

In this brand new interview conducted last week, we find the indefatigable Sibel Edmonds as spirited as ever and determined to press on with her legal cases, in her attempt to alert the American people of high-level criminal behavior and corruption in and around the U.S. government.

The interview concentrates on her new appeal to the Supreme Court, reactions to the recent Vanity Fair article in which she was featured, some thoughts on the AIPAC-Larry Franklin investigation, more details on high-level global criminal activities – and on what kind of officials are involved in them.

<snip>

SE: In some cases where the FBI stumbles upon evidence of high-level officials being involved in drug-smuggling, they're even prevented from sharing it with the DEA . The Department of State just comes in and says, "Leave it."

You know, it's funny, after 9/11, the common criticism was that there was "no information-sharing" between the FBI, CIA, and the like, and this is why the terrorists pulled it off – as if we didn't want to cooperate. No information-sharing? That's the biggest BS I ever heard!

9. THANK you.....didn't know about that

when is SHE going to get some more airtime?

WHEN is CBS going to run that 60 Minutes piece the cancelled?

[G_j]

10. I doubt if CBS will ever run that segment

and I doubt if the media will cover the story until all hell breaks loose, which hopefully it will when Sibel starts naming names.

[Gabi Hayes]

11. will they arrest her first; hold her incommunicado like they did the

Canadian at the airport, or Padilla?

or will something else happen?

you think David Kelly suicided himself? and who was the last person who spoke with him?

[Gabi Hayes]

12. Miller/Kelly connection

Thanks to news articles written by others we know more about Kelly's e-mails than Judith Miller revealed to readers of The New York Times... and more importantly, we know that Kelly wrote at least one e-mail that Miller failed to write about.

Jamie Macaskill, for example, filed a story in The London Sunday Mail on July 20, 2003 entitled: Dark Actors Playing Games:


SUICIDE scientist Dr David Kelly warned a friend that "dark actors" were working against him just hours before his death.
Dr Kelly revealed his fears shortly before killing himself after being dragged into the row over the Government's justification for war in Iraq.
In an email to American author Judy Miller, sent just before he left his home for the last time, he referred to "many dark actors playing games".
But, according to Miller, Dr Kelly gave no indication he was depressed or planning to take his own life.
He told her he would wait "until the end of the week" before deciding his next move following his traumatic appearance before a House of Commons select committee...


In fact, Judith Miller apparently knew David Kelly rather well. She had quoted him in several of her earlier articles going back to 1998, and according to the Globe article referenced above, Kelly had helped her write her book about Weapons of Mass Destruction published several years before.

One would have thought that Miller would have regarded her relationship with Kelly as well as her contact with him just before his death as "scoop" material. Instead she failed to let her readers even know that she had enjoyed a long and close association with him. Even more odd, she left out the provocative e-mail he had written her just prior to his death while writing about a more innocuous one sent to an "associate."

I find Miller's behavior in the Kelly story rather odd, to say the least. Unlike the Plame story, Miller did ultimately write about Kelly, but she camouflaged her own involvement and left much of what she knew out of the piece. I can't pretend to know what role Miller played in the Plame saga, but I am now wondering whether she is being looked at as a possible accessory, rather than as a journalist who is protecting her sources. If that is the case, her efforts to rally the journalistic community to her aid represent a cynical charade.

13. wow, now that is interesting

[seemslikeadream]

15. Yes it is, isn't it?

That Judy really gets around. I was thinking Bolton may have brought her a little something when he visited her the other day in jail.
