Sibel Edmonds Calls Condi Rice a liar!
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 11:28 AM by Tim4319
Another bombshell! Now, a former FBI translator has come forward to call Condoleezza Rice a liar. She said she told Condi of the threats and nothing was done. Here are a couple links to back this up.

'I saw papers that show US knew al-Qa'ida would attack cities with aeroplanes'

02 April 2004

A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie".
Sibel Edmonds said she spent more than three hours in a closed session with the commission's investigators providing information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place. The Bush administration, meanwhile, has sought to silence her and has obtained a gagging order from a court by citing the rarely used "state secrets privilege".

She told The Independent yesterday: "I gave details of specific investigation files, the specific dates, specific target information, specific managers in charge of the investigation. I gave them everything so that they could go back and follow up. This is not hearsay. These are things that are documented. These things can be established very easily."

6. She is going to fall on her sword for Bushco.
I fear she'll be the only one, though. Those who want some closure will be satisfied, and it'll be back to bidness as usual. Hope I'm wrong.

7. Edmonds also called Bush a liar!
Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 12:16 PM by The Night Owl
"President Bush said they had no specific information about September 11 and that is accurate but only because he said September 11." - Edmonds quoted in The Independent.
