1. Way kicked because Sibel is my hero!
Go Sibel, go!

The Incredibly, Credible Sibel
One of the battles Sibel is forced to fight- even with many progressives and liberals- is to constantly reestablish her credibility. In some sense, this has been inevitable, given the shocking allegations she has made. (In case you haven't been paying attention, Sibel translated wiretaps that reveal Turkish nationals involved in drug running, terror-support activities, illegal lobbying, arms trafficking and corruption of high-level U.S. officials.) And yet, as sensational and astounding as her revelations sound, it is hard to deny that Sibel has a lot of corroboration for her story – even FBI officials have had to admit privately to Congress and the Inspector General that her claims are backed up by other documents and witnesses.

There exist 3 solid sources that give important credence to Sibel's story. They are as follows:

Members of Congress- Senators Patrick Leahy, Charles Grassley and Representative Henry Waxman are all on record as saying Sibel's story is corroborated within the FBI. Grassley is the most interesting case. A conservative Republican, he allowed himself to be filmed on camera in 2002 very emphatically saying

"Absolutely, she's credible. And the reason I feel she's very credible is because people within the FBI have corroborated a lot of her story." Grassley by then had certainly heard the allegations Sibel made against his GOP colleague Dennis Hastert. It blows the mind to think Grassley would have given any backing to Sibel's story at all if there was any way he could have discounted it. It further more stretches one's imagination to think that Grassley would allow himself to be quoted as supporting a whistleblower unless he firmly believed the allegations to be corroborated.\n Grassley, whatever you think of his conservative views, is a good politician. And good politicians are generally very cautious in their public statements.
