Fired FBI Translator's Charges Classified -Sibel Edmonds updates
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has completed its investigation of a whistle-blower's allegations that shoddy work and security breaches hampered translation of Sept. 11-related documents. But like the rest of her case, the report is classified as secret.

Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, will ask the department to release an unclassified version of the inspector general's report, Leahy's spokesman, David Carle, said Thursday.

Also, former FBI linguist Sibel Edmonds will go to court seeking the right to read the report written about her, said her lawyer, Mark Zaid.
...
At a news conference Thursday, Edmonds accused the Bush administration of misusing its state secrets privilege to cover up incompetence and wrongdoing at the FBI.

"To them, our Bill of Rights under the Constitution is nothing more than an inconvenient roadblock to overcome," she said.

Edmonds, who was hired to help translate Turkish and Farsi just after the 2001 attacks, said she saw documents suggesting that "semi-legitimate organizations" with foreign connections and ties to Sept. 11 terrorists were being allowed to operate unfettered.

2. This case is being squashed by our whore media as well so...

Fight them.

Media says CIA will take the blame of WMD's away from Bush Admin, but they miserably fail to mention the fact that some two high, cabinet level white house officials leaked name of a WMD specialist - CIA spook, because her husband, Amb. Joe Wilson found out that Bush's bogus claim on Saddam getting uranium from Africa was bullshit.

So, if it's all the CIA's fault, then why destroy a top NOC agent's career, and front companies, putting hundreds of people in danger who worked with her - because her husband spoke the truth that there was NO, NONE, WMD?

People... this blame game on the CIA is a fucking crime. Go ask Air Force Colonial Karen Kwiatkowski who worked for Rummies Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon . She claims the Intel was cherry picked for war by the OSP and that the OSP stove piped the CIA for the best pro-war Intel. So, who's really to blame?

Tell media to report the truth, tell them that the 911 commission along with the Bu$h crime family has stove piped Sibel Edmonds and Karen Kwiatkowski for even presenting their cases to the courts.

So much for a nation of law.

7. she has "the goods" on the corrupt govt officials and they "gag her"....
and the people of the US again are not informed of why the "trickery" of her statements made public are now classified.

I'll tell you why...becuase people would go to jail. We have lost it.
