Sibel Edmonds Ready to TELL ALL - prison or not!
She's Prepared to Name Names, Including Those of Two
'Well-Known' Congress Members Involved in Criminal Corruption.
The 'Most Gagged Person in U.S. History' Tells The BRAD BLOG
She's Now Exhausted All Other Channels...

"Here's my promise to the American Public: If anyone of
the major networks --- ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX ---
promise to air the entire segment, without editing, I promise
to tell them everything that I know," about everything
mentioned above, she told us.

"I can tell the American public exactly what it is, and
what it is that they are covering up," she continued.
"I'm not compromising ongoing investigations,"
Edmonds explained, because "they've all been shut down
since."

If we are to rally around anyone we should be calling Waxman's
office NOW and asking why he broke his promise to hear Edmonds
testimony first and now won't even answer her phone calls! 

Call Embarrass Waxman. Demand public open hearings:
DC:(202)225-3976 LA:323 651-1040 Capitol switchboard:
800-828-0498

CBS 60 Minutes: 60m@cbsnews.com Ph: (212) 975-3247

1. A high stake poker game that I bet no media outlet will dare call.
I hope & pray that I am wrong.

I will make the calls.

7. No they wouldn't.
No one is going to unilaterally hand over their right to edit.

14. none of the big networks she stipulated are going
to give up editorial privilege. And why did she stipulate only those networks?

4. 1 dem, 14K Repukes ...
and it will be a "bipartisan" problem ...

If it were dealing with a lot of Dems, this would be redundant ... she would have been on Faux day 2 of the scandal ...

19. Waxman must know the depth of Sibel's knowledge and decided the world can't know
the too illegal practices that would expose this government for the corruption that involves going to war only as an extremely mild accusation compared to the involvement of many Senators wrong doings.

What other reason can there be then?

6. no she's not prepared to tell all. If she were she wouldn't limit
to:
"Here's my promise to the American Public: If anyone of
the major networks --- ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX ---
promise to air the entire segment, without editing, I promise
to tell them everything that I know," about everything
mentioned above, she told us.

And she wouldn't put in what she knows is an absolute deal killer for any network: a no editing clause. Hell, I doubt even Amy Goodman would accept that. And why didn't she include people like Goodman and Moyers on PBS?

9. If 60 minutes won't...
there's Keith Olbermann... "A Very Special Keith Olbermann"

or there's Democracy Now which could go viral via google and YouTube and could get picked up via digg-it, etc. People could write letters to the editors of their newspapers.

I would imagine that many traditional media outlets would be intimidated by BushCo threats about breeches of Nat'l security. She, like Ellsberg, might be a testcase for free speech. Whoever is willing to broadcast Me Edmonds' story would surely go down in history as one of those journalists who was part of a seminal point in U.S. history, if what Edmonds claims is true...and I happend to believe she's very credible.

And at this time, with no appointment yet for AG, whoever this would be inheriting this already done deal.

10. If she's serious about this, why did she limit herself to such a few
outlets AND make demands she knows won't be met?

16. This will get to the root of the "Nobody ever talks about 9/11" problem..
and the "If anyone dares ask questions, just dismiss them and call them 'crazy'" issue, and the "Don't investigate 9/11 if you know what's good for you" meme that BushCo held days after the event.

Speak the TRUTH Miss Edmonds!

18. YouTube-YouTube - now that's a plan, the MSM would hustle to be the first to
pick up on it, perhaps even Jon Stewart can give it a gloss-over by mentioning the Sibel Edwards story causing great controversy...etc.
