Sibel Edmonds, former contract-FBI translator/whistleblower and "most gagged person in U.S. history" has finally told all - to Antiwar.com’s Philip Giraldi. It’s all in the cover story for November’s issue of The American Conservative magazine, "Who’s Afraid of Sibel Edmonds?" which hits the stands on Tuesday.
Last month, Edmonds was deposed in a civil lawsuit for 6 hours (video and transcript here), and told as much of her story as she ever has, and all together in one place. Now, however, she has gone much further and apparently told Giraldi everything, less sources and methods.
For those who’ve been waiting for the day when this story would break back into the mainstream media, this may be the time to get out your trusty old letter-to-the-editor pen, set your speed-dial to the local morning news radio stations, and make sure to Facebook friend your 2nd cousin at CNN so you can send him a message when the article goes online.
How could they possibly continue to ignore such tales of drugs, guns, spies, lies, bribes, sex, blackmail, terrorism and the nuke black market from such an inside source?
Tuesday on Antiwar Radio, I’ll be speaking with Giraldi, David Rose and Joe Lauria - the journalists who’ve done the best and most "credentialed" reporting on her case - about all of Edmonds’ explosive allegations. Listen live 2-4 Eastern at Antiwar.com/radio.
Update: Brad Friedman has more details here.
Update II: The interview is now online here.

Because of the choice of publication to outlet this information, the partisans of the Left are hard at work depicting her as a crackpot.
What I mean is that the American Conservative is chaired by Pat Buchanan, who is one or two degrees of separation from hardcore anti-semites and white supremacists (even if he himself is not).
Kudos to them for breaking the story, but I sincerely hope it doesn’t throw a huge wet blanket on it.
That’s hilarious. It hasn’t been Pat’s magazine in years. Liberals suck.
Huh…really? Shrug.
Perhaps I’m exaggerating about the leftie smear job on her. It was just comments I read in response to her outing on some blogs. They sounded really awful.
Would be interesting to see how the reaction pans out…if at all…
Currently the silence is really deafening. Is it because her story fits into NO ONE’s agenda?

Thats awesome! A Murdoch owned news outlet just plugged James Bovard and Lew Rockwell! Maybe we can bring those neocon’s over to…the Good Side.

That is a very powerful picture.
On another note, Sibel Edmonds is cute.
Yep. She’s foxy.

For Scott – a letter surfaces implicating Pakistani govt for driving nuclear proliferation.
“How could they possibly continue to ignore such tales of drugs, guns, spies, lies, bribes, sex, blackmail, terrorism and the nuke black market from such an inside source?”
I’m surprised that we are still asking this kind of questions… Haven’t we realized that the media is part of the problem and not the solution?
How many more wars and presidential campaigns and economic reports do you need to finally accept reality?
The media part of the problem? You know, I’d never considered that, but you may be onto something there.
Hey Scott! long time!
I know you have considered it…
The “How could they possibly continue to ignore” part is what is the phrasing in your comment that i do not understand; They choose to ignore it because that is precisely their work…
How is LA???
