Sibel Dinez Edmonds (born 1969 in Iran) is a Turkish-American former FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC). Edmonds was fired from her position as a language specialist at the FBI's Washington Field Office in March, 2002, after she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving Turkish nationals, alleging serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence which, she thought, presented a danger to the United States' security. Since that time, court proceedings on her whistleblower claims have been blocked by the assertion of State Secrets Privilege.\n\nEarly life and education\nThe daughter of an Azerbaijani doctor, Edmonds lived in Iran and then Turkey until coming to the United States as a student in 1988. She became an American citizen in 1996. In addition to English, Edmonds is fluent in Turkish, Persian and Azeri. She earned her masters degree in public policy and international commerce from George Mason University, and her bachelors in criminal justice and psychology from George Washington University.\n\n\nFBI career\nEdmonds was hired, as a contractor, to work as an interpreter in the translations unit of the FBI on September 20, 2001.\n\nBetween December 2001 and March 2002, Edmonds reported to FBI managers various incidents of misconduct and incompetence, involving her supervisor Mike Feghali and others, that she observed while employed as a translator. In response, she claims that managers retaliated against her. She escalated her complaints to the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility and the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General. She was fired on March 22, 2002.\n\nIn June of that year, anonymous government sources asserted, in Associated Press and Washington Post reports, that Edmonds had been disruptive, breached security, and performed poorly at her job.\n\n[edit]\nLitigation\nEdmonds' allegations of impropriety at the FBI came to the attention of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which held unclassified hearings on the matter on June 17, 2002 and July 9, 2002. During the hearings, the FBI provided various unclassified documents and statements relating to the case, and even acknowledged that some of Edmonds' complaints, particularly regarding misconduct by her fellow translators and mismanagement within her unit, had merit. This led to two Senators sending letters, dated June 19, 2002 August 13, 2002, and October 28, 2002 — to Inspector General Glenn Fine, Attorney General Ashcroft, and FBI Director Robert Mueller, respectively — asking for explanations and calling for an independent audit of the FBI's translation unit. These documents were published on the Senators' web sites and were republished by a watchdog group, Project On Government Oversight (POGO).\n\nMeanwhile, on July 22, 2002, Edmonds filed suit against the Department of Justice, the FBI, and several high-level officials, alleging that she was wrongfully terminated from the FBI in retaliation for reporting criminal activities committed by government officials and employees. On October 18, 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the State Secrets Privilege in order to prevent disclosure of the nature of Edmonds' work on the grounds that it would endanger national security, and asked that the suit be dismissed.\n\nOn August 15, 2002, a separate suit, Burnett v. Al Baraka Investment & Dev. Corp., was filed by families of 600 victims of the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks against Saudi banks, charity organizations, and companies. Edmonds was to file a deposition in this case regarding her claim that FBI had foreknowledge of al-Qaeda's attacks against the World Trade Center.\n\nOn December 11, 2003, Attorney General Ashcroft, again invoking the State Secrets Privilege, filed a motion calling for Edmonds' deposition to be suppressed and for the entire case to be dismissed. The judge,

I do not approve of much the Bush Administration has perpetrated in its five years of existence, but I think it's entirely appropriate to compare present administrations to recent past ones.  Anyway, the Clinton Administration did far more good than bad, so the Bush Administration comes up short anyway.

Man do some more research. It was a U.S. Government failure under Both Clinton and Bush. Or are you too partisan to see failures on Clinton's watch?\n\nIn 1995, the CIA and the FBI learned that Osama bin Laden was planning to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as bombs to attack important targets in the U.S. This scheme was called Project Bojinka. It was discovered in the Philippines, where authorities arrested two of bin Laden's agents, Ramzi Yousef and Abdul Hakim Murad. They were involved in planting a bomb on a Philippine airliner. Project Bojinka, which Philip-pine authorities found outlined on Abdul Murad's laptop, called for planting bombs on eleven U.S. airliners and hijacking others and crashing them into targets like the CIA building.

I'm a disbeliever.  However, I'll take you up on your challenge and watch BookTV tonight (I try to catch it whenever I can anyway).  Who is the author?\n\nIf you're suggesting that the current administration (as bad as it is) was complicit in 9/11, then I strongly disagree.  If, on the other hand, you're simply talking about their ignorance and incompetence then, yes, they did have something to do with it.

Most of our worst enemies were educated here and many trained by the CIA. The true Bush legacy. This is no secret, the press is just afraid to remind people of it.\n\nIran was sold billions in weapons by the Reagan administration (Ollie North), G.H.W.B. said that he (former CIA director) was "out of the loop".

Yes,\nI don't have a source but i do remember when it all hit off in Afganistan after 9/11 there were reports in the European newspapers critisising US foreign policy.\nThe CIA is known to hava assisted and trained Afgani fighters, and supplied weapons. The critisism was that they assisted them in getting rid of the russians at the time and then were not happy with the resulting government and their policy's so in they went to cause some more turmoil.\nWHY?? Cos the USSR was a big enemy then.

Bush senior was the head of the CIA during the Carter administration.\n\nDuring this time the CIA was illegally selling arms to the contra rebels in Nicaragua and giving the money to Iran to keep the hostages that they took from the US embassy.\n\nAt the same time the Republicans were accusing the Democrats of not doing anything to get the hostages released thus swaying our own presidential election allowing Regan to get into office.
