http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=250&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0The first victory in this effort occurred yesterday when the U.S. District Court proceedings previously ‘sealad’ (closed to the public and press) were forced open after members of the public and press confronted the court and then U.S. Marshals directly challenging the unjustified and undocumented order for official secrecy regarding the Edmonds case that morning. The hearing in the courtroom of Bush appointed Judge Reggie Walton was scheduled to be closed but in an apparent bow to vocal objections brought by a former CIA agent, a foreign print journalist, the author of this account and Edmonds’ lawyer, the Judge elected to open the doors and allow public and press scrutiny of the proceedings.
In the end, despite pleading and arguments made by counsel Allan Gerson on behalf the 9/11 Families and their lawsuit, the U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton quashed the current deposition subpoena that would have had Edmonds testifying today
before the lawyers for several thousand family members who has suing those they believe are behind terrorism. However, given the need for further review of the case, and perhaps the new public and press scrutiny, Judge Walton did set a date (June 14th) for another hearing and decision on whether to allow her deposition in some form. With this much advance time there is more than enough opportunity to rally a large public audience who would be willing to show Sibel Edmonds a very strong show of support and in the process help this disturbing information reach more Americans who deserve to know.
