Sibel Edmonds versus the monster*

More than five years ago, Sibel Edmonds blew the whistle on U.S. officials involved in selling nuclear secrets to Turkey, thence to Pakistan and beyond. Edmonds had been a translator for the FBI and had reviewed hundreds of communications. She has testified in closed congressional committee sessions, she has delivered her evidence to Rep. Henry Waxman. At the time, Waxman said a Republican majority in the House prevented him from holding hearings. What is he waiting for now? Call Waxman. Demand full public hearings. We need to know.

And why is the U.S. main stream media ignoring this story? The Times is all over it.

*as used here, “monster” represents a tip of the hat to 60s rockers, Steppenwolf.

“America, where are you now, don’t you care about your sons and daughters?

Don’t you know, we need you now, we can’t fight alone against the monster.”
