Fired FBI Translator's Charges Classified

WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.

"I have no problems believing that some of the information in her case could be classified, but to say all of it is classified, it's the breadth of it that's absurd," Zaid said.
