Marc Grossman to Testify Wed; Sibel Edmonds Urges Bloggers/Media to Show Up, Ask Questions...

ATTN DC Bloggers/Media: Marc Grossman to Testify in House on Wednesday
Opportunity for Indy Media to Ask Questions, Since U.S. MSM Won't!

Just in...Marc Grossman, who has been named in the Sibel Edmonds case as allegedly receiving bribes from Turkish and Israeli agents, and warning the Turkish Embassy to stay away from Valerie Plame Wilson's "Brewster Jennings" front company, will be testifying tomorrow morning (Wed.) before a sub-committee of Henry Waxman's House Oversight committee.

Edmonds has just contacted us, and is urging bloggers and other willing media to show up to the hearings, with video cameras and questions for the former #3 man at the State Dept, who, she alleges, was heard on wiretaps as being complicit in a scheme to smuggle nuclear secrets to the worldwide nuclear black market. If the U.S. media won't do their job on this, as the UK's Guardian notes today, then it's up to the alternative media to do it for them. Tomorrow morning might be a great chance.

Here's the details:

Does this mean she's beginning to be heard?

God I hope the MSM is all over this.

... after I posted notes on this in Luke's Sibel thread earlier here a little while ago.

Now I don't have to with your great efforts here and I can get back to some other chores I've neglected today.

I would suggest that people also call Dennis Kucinich's office to see if we can get him to ask the right questions if he's at this meeting. I know he's in Waxman's Oversight committee. Not sure about this subcommittee though.

this was a great help

(heck, you've been a great help on this story for years)

Now. Restore America.

more. MKJ

Grossman is scheduled to speak to a Subcommittee, that Waxman is not on. And his testimony is supposedly on U.S. Embassy issues.

The opportunity is for the citizen journalists to get Grossman on video answering (or not) to important questions etc.

Doubt the committee will bring up the issue at all, unfortunately, despite Waxman's previous promises, according to Sibel, to do so.

Maybe someone knows one of these Representatives and can put a word in.

... as he is on the "suspect list" himself along with Grossman, and has as an assistant one of the others on it.

I don't see Kucinich on this subcommittee. I know he's on the Oversight committee itself, but I guess not on this one. I did send an email to him earlier. Perhaps he might know who's ear on this committee to bend to ask the right questions though!

as I would love to be there..

I was leaving the "contacting" to others more in the know.

thanks for the heads up though.

to hand out to press and other attendees.

I'll also have a flyer ready shortly.

I'll post the details here

(we had to put it together on short notice)

(thanks to he-knows-who for helping me do this)

This has been a LONG time in the waiting.

I hope some truth leaks out.

We have less than 12 hours to go.Time for Citizen Journalism!

:kick:

to this asshole's testimony!

...on sibel related issues tomorrow - he'll be testifying on the security of embassies 'ironically'

thx for keeping us updated on Sibel's efforts.

Why do I feel like I shouldn't hold my breath?

if grossman hears that our crew will be there, he will probably cancel.

fine. we'll hound him to his grave. (oh - and a 'no-show' is probably more media worthy anywhere)

Then perhaps Waxman will get the message that if he wants to conduct his committee business he better prioritize getting the right people on the stand (subpoenas or otherwise) or this will happen again and again with other "closet" criminals too! He can't do anything to hurt us. So he might want to cooperate if he doesn't want that sort of thing to happen then, and therefore put Sibel herself on the stand!

thanks, everyone, for the info!!

following up to keep it known.

Let`s see how this stacks up against Brittney Spears reports.

That said, I'll be watching as well.

Kick, so this becomes relevent to DU discussions.

Anyone else having that problem or, lucky you, able to get the media player screen to work?

and allow active X to run.

Still not working for me. Maybe the Active X is shut off. Will try to reset. Thanx

I tuned in just as the meeting was adjourning. :(
Did Grossman get grilled?

I don't know whether I'm more disappointed in Waxman or Reid.

Neither of them seem to be showing much interest in issues of importance to the progressive base, such as investigating Sibel's charges. One might almost think that they take us for granted, and are attending to the corporate center.

A formula for disaster, if you ask me. But, they aren't.
