WOW, so surprised to see Sibel Edmond's stuff on this site. As a translator for the FBI, she had a lot to say about the 9/11 attacks and how corruption within the FBI's translation unit may have played a factor in failing to prevent those attacks [1]. She went on record to claim that the subsequent 9/11 Commission was a farce and did nothing to gather the relevant facts [2].
As she went through the proper channels to report what she had seen, she was eventually fired as a result of her allegations [3]. Her testimony was also sealed by John Ashcroft under the states secrets privilege [4], which is exactly what has happened with the recent Snowden allegations [5].
Personally I think Sibel Edmonds is one of the most reliable people in the whistleblower community and that she has a lot to say that's being hidden from the public.

- gundy 13y ago"I have information about things that our government has lied to us about. I know. For example, to say that since the fall of the Soviet Union we ceased all of our intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban - those things can be proven as lies, very easily, based on the information they classified in my case, because we did carry very intimate relationship with these people, and it involves Central Asia, all the way up to September 11." America has many relationships with everyone. They would fuck over Jesus Christ if they thought it was a good idea at the time.
- specialist 13y agoIIRC, she was also gagged by the court during her wrongful termination lawsuit, citing national security. Convenient.
- perlpimp 13y agoCan gag order be unconstitutional or illegal?
