Recent interest in Sibel Edmonds and Kill The Messenger

I’m not sure exactly why, but in the last couple of days I’ve had a surge of hits visiting related to Kill The Messenger and Sibel Edmonds.

Yesterday

sybil edmonds – 4
kill the messenger edmonds – 3
Today so far
kill the messenger movie – 4

It’s possible that some of those searchers are looking for the 2005 civil war movie with that name, but some are definitely seeking Sibel. I’m glad to see a renewal of interest in the documentary Kill The Messenger and in Sibel Edmonds, the FBI whistleblower who is considered to be the most gagged person in U.S. history.

Maybe it’s because The New American’s current issue has an article about Sibel Edmonds called Shooting the Messenger? Anyway, I wish I could point you towards an online venue to watch the documentary Kill The Messenger- since it’s still not available via Netflix (maybe they’d get the message if they got enough requests for it?) but unfortunately none of the ones which used to be around work anymore. I guess you might possibly also be able to order a copy by emailing the directors, though.

Remake of Sybil- when will they remake Kill The Messenger?

In light of CBS’s recent remake of the 1976 drama “Sybil” starring Sally Fields (this time starring Tammy Blanchard) how long do you think it will be before we see a remake of the documentary Kill The Messenger- about FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds’ story? Yeah, thirty years sounds about right to me too… if ever, that is. Anyway, until then, enjoy this little piece which blazingprattles put together a few months back. Sybil Sibel

Sibel Edmonds updates

Luke Ryland is back to writing about Sibel Edmonds on his blog after being away from it for awhile while travelling. That’s the good news. Other than that, not much coverage, but Luke is always worth reading. His recent pieces are titled (oldest to newest)

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.

Digg Brad Friedman’s coverage of the Bill Moyers’ Journal “coverage” of Sibel Edmonds by Rick Karr.

Journalist claims that it is nearly impossible to report on Sibel Edmonds’ claims then points that the British media are doing just that.

The Bill Moyers Journal piece by Rick Karr does have at least one good thing in its favor, though, despite its flaws- it does provide links to further reading, including the Times pieces and the Dallas Morning News editorial piece by Philip Giraldi on this page.
