On October 10, 2006, FBI spokesman Bill Carter confirmed that matters raised by Sibel Edmonds and shielded form public view by the invocation of the US States Secret privilege were still under internal investigation by the Bureau.

“Due to the fact that the allegations of Sibel Edmonds reflect internal administrative and investigative matters it would not be appropriate to respond to your inquiry. I will point out that the DOJ Office of the Inspector General has reviewed this matter and released a public report. I would refer this report to you for your review. The Inspector General's report concluded that the FBI did not adequately investigate allegations Ms. Edmonds made regarding a co-worker. After the OIG's initial classified report, the FBI conducted further investigation into Ms. Edmonds' allegations. That investigation is continuing.”*

Back in March of 2002, Edmonds was released from the FBI over her discovery of an array of espionage activities. Looking back, and with the benefit of new information from the FBI and elsewhere, it appears that the government of Turkey was spectacularly successfully in compromising FBI, CIA, DEA, DIA and DOS operations, and was also able to mount other espionage programs that allowed Turkish interests to obtain assorted military and WMD technology know-how, and garner US and Israeli military support for its bloody internal struggle against its significant and much maligned Kurdish population/opposition.

The Turks: Masters of Espionage

The Turks would not have been successful in staging what may be recorded as one of history’s finest intelligence coups had it not been for many sympathetic US military personnel, bureaucrats and politicians who, whatever their egotistical reasons, believed themselves to be acting in the USA's best interests. Certainly, no one can accuse them of not effectively representing their powerful Turkish clients whether in defeating US Congressional action recognizing the Armenian Genocide or ensuring that US corporations close lucrative deals in Turkey.

The sympathizers names are now overly familiar: Douglas Feith, Brent Scowcroft, William Cohen, Richard Perle, Michael Leeden, Bob Livingston, Marc Grossman, Paul Wolfowitz, Eric Edelman, Richard Armitage, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Dennis Hastert, et al.

1. Sure would be nice if the US media started reporting on

Sibel's case. Remember when we used to have a free press?

I'm hoping before too much longer, they won't be able to ignore her anymore.

4. Ah, I remember the Free Press. Use to look forward to

buying and then reading the newspaper because it contained, well, news about events and people that were, newsworthy.

I thought that that Free Press was a fixture in our culture and would always be there. I trusted it more than any politician or political group. It kept everyone honest. The threat of an honest journalist turning up the inevitable dirt behind an injustice was enough to discourage some of the crooks.

I miss it. Terribly.

2. The irony is sublime.If you'd told me several years ago that

Pravda would print a story of this magnitude while the mainstream US media blatantly ignored it, I'd've laughed us both sick.

3. Amazing where we are in 2008.

5. And don't forget that it was likely Scowcroft that got Carol Lam hired QUICKLY by Qualcomm...

... where he serves on their board, instead of even working as a contractor as Rahm Emmanuel had initially suggested at that time shortly after she was fired, to have her follow up on the indictments of Brent Wilkes, the CIA's Dusty Foggo, and others who were likely intertwined in this too.

The whole thing stinks!

6. reported in Pravda...which prints more truth than US papers

I remember the jokes about Pravda... now the jokes are about the NYT...

sigh... thanks, Santayana, you were right...
