FBI Veteran Executive Calls For Special Counsel Investigation, Prosecutions in Sibel Edmonds Case
Link (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7449).
An 18-year Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism Manager for the FBI has called for a Special Counsel to be appointed to investigate the allegations of FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. John M. Cole, who now works as an intelligence contractor for the Air Force, made his comments during an audio interview released late last week with radio journalist Peter B. Collins.
He also offered a detailed insiders look at the concerns among high-level officials inside the Bureau as Edmonds disturbing allegations began coming to light back in 2002, before they would be quashed for seven long years by the Bush Administration's unprecedented use of the so-called "State Secrets Privilege" to gag her.
Except for the American Conservative (http://amconmag.com/issue/2009/nov/01/) magazine, the recent depositions by Sibel Edmonds have been pretty much ignored by media on the right. I don't think it's gotten any mention in flagship media on the left, either, even if it was covered, years ago, by Democracy Now. (Bradblog is, IMO, one of the best lefty blogs, at least when it comes to stories that get censored, for one reason or another (including self-censorship). However, I don't think that anybody considers it as an elite member of the lefty media, or even blogsphere.)
Main stream media has also taken a pass, as a whole.
America's pseudo-reality marches on!
Anybody know how the foreign press has dealt with the Edmonds' depositions?
