Brad Friedman, from St. Louis, MO…<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’ve followed our recent blockbusters about FBI translator-turned-whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds (the latest, in which legendary 1970’s whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg describes her case as “far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers,” is here<\/a>), but remain unclear on the heart of what she has to expose — if<\/i> she’s ever able to expose it — our friend Lukery at Let Sibel Edmonds Speak<\/a>, offers a good summation<\/a> today, as culled from his near-encyclopedic knowledge of the case. If you’re unclear on things, and it’s easy to be, given the scope of her allegations, please read his piece today.<\/p>\n

You may also wish to see our handy bullet-point version<\/a> of the breadth of cover-ups that she is ready to risk prison in order to disclose<\/a> in full by defying her absurd five-year long “gag order” by the DoJ.<\/p>\n

Lukery points us to Philip Giraldi’s column<\/a> on Edmonds from the American Conservative<\/em> (yes, the American Conservative<\/u><\/em>), which Edmonds has described as “the most accurate summary of my case”. According to Giraldi…<\/p>\n

Sibel Edmonds, the Turkish FBI translator turned whistleblower who has been subjected to a gag order could provide a major insight into how neoconservatives distort US foreign policy and enrich themselves at the same time. On one level, her story appears straightforward: several Turkish lobbying groups allegedly bribed congressmen to support policies favourable to Ankara. But beyond that, the Edmonds revelations become more serpentine and appear to involve AIPAC, Israel and a number of leading neoconservatives who have profited from the Turkish connection.<\/div>\n

The Giraldi piece is short and to the point, and described by Edmonds as “100% right”, so we recommend you give it a quick read<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Luke further explains in his helpful summation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Sibel’s case involves illegal weapons sales, money laundering, drug trafficking, nuclear black market, terrorism and the corruption of the US Govt.<\/p>\n

Sibel has already named names (though not all) – Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, William Cohen, Marc Grossman, Eric Edelman, Dennis Hastert, Bob Livingston and others – and she has also named the countries involved: Turkey, Israel, Pakistan, the other ‘Stans – and of course the US.<\/p><\/div>\n

He also offers a few contacts for some of the media outlets we mentioned in our exclusive yesterday<\/a>, as having so far failed to take up Edmonds’ couragous offer to hand them one helluva blockbuster interview. We’re happy to repost those contacts here for you, as without noise from the public (that would be you!<\/u><\/em>), the American corporate media will continue to avoid the issue like the plague, and the bad guys will simply keep smiling from the shadows…<\/p>\n
