Checking in on Sibel Edmonds news

The unfortunate news is that there hasn’t really been much of it lately. Brad Friedman mentioned a couple of months back that there was a planned fourth story in the UK Sunday Times, but so far we haven’t seen that. Meanwhile, Congress’s 90 days to amend or block the legislation legalizing sales of nuclear technology to Turkey has passed. I haven’t heard anything on that, so I think we can safely assume they let it ride…

YouTube user glenrose2008 recently uploaded footage of Ashcroft and Grassley on Sibel Edmonds from 2002. Sorry I don’t have more for you. But you can keep checking for new news stories. There are a few recent news mentions of her name, but nothing new in those, really.

Must read/share interview: Luke Ryland interviews Sibel Edmonds: ‘Buckle up, there’s much more coming.’

Please, please take the time to read and spread this important new interview that Luke Ryland has done with Sibel Edmonds.

Sibel Edmonds: ‘Buckle up, there’s much more coming.’

In the last few weeks, UK’s Times has run a series of articles about the so-called ‘Sibel Edmonds case.’ (‘For sale: West’s deadly nuclear secrets, ‘FBI denies file exposing nuclear secrets theft‘ and ‘Tip-off thwarted nuclear spy ring probe‘)

Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds stumbled into a world of espionage, nuclear black market, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and corruption at the highest levels of the US government.

I interviewed Sibel yesterday regarding the current investigation and reporting by the Times, the failures of the US media, and last week’s decision by the Bush administration to legalize the sale of nuclear technology to Turkey, in an apparent effort to exonerate prior criminal activity by officials in his administration.

Sibel also has some urgent ‘action items’ so that we can stop these dangerous nuclear proliferation activities. I urge you to act on her suggestions.

Read the interview bookmark/share/digg, etc. it

Or alternately/in addition- digg/share the OpEd News version.

Well, we can no longer gripe about the total absense of US media coverage on the Sibel Edmonds. Even if we discount Fox News reprinting one of the Sunday Times pieces and Sandra Duffy’s blogging efforts for the Oregonian, The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has now stepped up to the plate and allowed Richard Babb’s piece Holy nuclear secrets, Batman! to run. I’m expecting the dam to break any second now. No, really.

More from the UK on Valerie Plame & Sibel Edmonds- Tip-off thwarted nuclear spy ring probe

Tip-off thwarted nuclear spy ring probe

AN investigation into the illicit sale of American nuclear secrets was compromised by a senior official in the State Department, a former FBI employee has claimed.

The official is said to have tipped off a foreign contact about a bogus CIA company used to investigate the sale of nuclear secrets.

The firm, Brewster Jennings & Associates, was a front for Valerie Plame, the former CIA agent. Her public outing two years later in 2003 by White House officials became a cause célèbre.

The claims that a State Department official blew the investigation into a nuclear smuggling ring have been made by Sibel Edmonds, 38, a former Turkish language translator in the FBI’s Washington field office.

As usual, Luke Ryland has a great analysis of the article up on his blog. I can’t recommend his work on this story highly enough.

From the article, once again-

The State Department official said on Friday: “It is impossible to find a strong enough way to deny these allegations which are both false and malicious.”

Once again, the Sunday Times article appears to have originally had a somewhat different title than what it is now running by. In this case, they’ve left off a four letter (plus apostrophe s) word which rhymes with hole and can be used to describe Avogadro’s number, a burrowing mammal, a Mexican sauce, and an epidermal disorder, among other definitions. Hard to imagine how such a word might have slipped into the headline by accident in the first place…
