Sibel Edmonds names names, describes extensive spy network (American Conservative) For years, former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has been unable to speak out about her knowledge of corruption and espionage inside the U.S. government for years because of a gag order. -- In fact, the ACLU has called her “the most gagged person in the history of the United States of America.” -- On Aug. 8, however, she was deposed under oath in a legal hearing in Ohio, and, now that some of what she has to say is a matter of public record, she spoke about her testimony to Philip Giraldi in a 4000-word interview posted on Sept. 17 and published in the November 2009 issue of American Conservative.[1] -- Edmonds describes an FBI investigation into an extensive network involved in trafficking classified material to Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, and others, with at the center former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Marc Grossman, who had become the no. 3 person at the State Dept. -- When Giraldi pointed out that "Both [Doug] Feith and [Richard] Perle were lobbyists for Turkey and also were involved with Israel on defense contracts, including some for Northrop Grumman, which Feith represented in Israel," Edmonds said: "They had arrangements with various companies, some of them members of the American Turkish Council. They had arrangements with Kissinger’s group, with Northrop Grumman, with former secretary of state James Baker’s group, and also with former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft.
The monitoring of the Turks picked up contacts with Feith, Wolfowitz, and Perle in the summer of 2001, four months before 9/11. They were discussing with the Turkish ambassador in Washington an arrangement whereby the U.S. would invade Iraq and divide the country. The U.K. would take the south, the rest would go to the U.S. They were negotiating what Turkey required in exchange for allowing an attack from Turkish soil. The Turks were very supportive, but wanted a three-part division of Iraq to include their own occupation of the Kurdish region." -- Edmonds also described an extensive U.S. covert network involved Islamists and "bin Ladens" in trafficking drugs, weapons, and money in central Asia and the Balkans. -- Edmonds said she has detected no interest in the Obama administration in getting to the bottom of these allegations. -- BACKGROUND: For background on the bizarre circumstances that led Edmonds's testimony to be given, see here. -- So far only a few blogs and marginal publications have mentioned this interview, though it first appeared last Thursday...
