Concerning Sibel Edmonds. A question.
If she is denied a chance to testify or have her case reviewed by Waxman's committee or others, what will you attribute as to the reason?

1. That the entire congress can't believe that she's still alive?
She knows things that could turn this government upside-down and inside-out. It really is a miracle that she is alive - she must have the goods in a place that can't be touched...

2. It will really nag at me if that's the course it goes.
BTW I love your sig line.

5. That sig line is from E. V. Debbs. For some reason his name got cut off
when I put it in. :hi:

3. The power structure is loath to deal with other parts of the power structure,
lest it come back on the initiating interest.

It's like if your mother in law is a cleptomaniac. Do you turn her in and risk the wrath of members of the family? What does your spouse think? Are you employed by your father in law who hates his ex?
Does your mother in law provide you with free child care?

I'm not sure if any of the powers that be are very interested in exploring why so many opportunities to make a difference vis a vis 9/11 were shut down by superiors through-out various intel/LEO governmental depts.

It's not something a whole lot of leading members of Congress talk about much, apparently.

4. Where does that leave us?
That in itself shows the security state is but a joke.

7. The "security state" is no joke. It's just that the "security" involved
is that of the state, itself, and has nothing to do with the security of the citizens...

8. True. But I was talking of the myth it is in place
to protect us as citizens. When people in the structure who are patriots reveal the corruption and problems that make us less safe and they are silenced by the people we elect, then does it itself become a threat to us?

9. Yes. I think it does, and has, become a threat to us. What we need now,
as a citizen body, is a huge dose of gumption...

10. Maybe Dennis will go where angels fear to tread. I wonder what unfinished business
he wants to take a look at as concerns 9/11.

11. I've been thinking of that as well.
If Waxman doesn't work out, I can think of maybe two other avenues and one of them was to inquire if he is willing to take it on. The other was to go to the House committees concerning Homeland security.
