Psst...Sibel Edmonds is now top-linked story on web (Don't tell NYT/WaPo!)
The "smoking gun" story on 9/11 which the US media refuses to cover is now the top linked-to story on the web, according to blogdex.net.

Here's the story:

'I saw papers that show US knew al-Qa'ida would attack cities with aeroplanes'
Whistleblower the White House wants to silence speaks to The Independent
(London's CONSERVATIVE newspaper)

A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie".

Here's the story's ranking on blogdex.net:

Earth to New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and the rest of the whores...

Are you gonna be outdone by a conservative UK paper??

1. Could be the "state secret" ruling by the US Court.

2. So am I in trouble for posting this link to the story
Am I violating the "state secret" gag order??

5. Maybe the phone calls from the White House legal staff are working.
There are a lot of things that need asking about 9/11 that the investigators and the press are avoiding. Big things. Apparently they're operating the theory of 'what you don't know won't hurt you'. Whatever it is, they are certainly not doing what they should be doing. What a disgusting travesty, letting Cheney and bush* go before the commission together. Not asking about flights out of the country by members of the the Saudi royal family and the bin Ladens. Who made the money when they dumped the airline stocks just before 9/11. Why did Jeb run off to Washington with the flight school records on 9/12?

Whatever. I never did expect miracles (or honesty) anyway.

6. The Media's Running Scared
One wonders if our intrepid media has really gotten weak-kneed by this regime...afraid that if they bring this woman forward the messenger will be attacked. Witness what has happened to CBS...targeted by this regime for the Raygun movie, then hit again for the O'Neill and Clarke appearances on 60 minutes.

I've said earlier, I'm not eager for her material, if it's as true as it appears to be, to come out now. I'd prefer to see her introduced to a crowd of 50,000 or 100,000 DU'ers and others in NYC in September.

Right now, the burn-in is happening for the sheeple...getting the first doseage that their fearless leaders aren't so fearless and weren't quite leading on 9/11. There's a lot more that has to get out and digested by many who are miles behind the rest of us.

Ms. Edmonds message is best heard when the rest of the class catches up after more 9/11 hearings.

8. as the story said
"Mrs Edmonds, 33, says she gave her evidence to the commission in a specially constructed "secure" room at its offices in Washington on 11 February."

does this mean the commissioners weren't allowed to record her testimony, take notes, etc?

9. Supposedly She Has Testified
Now will her part testimony ever see the light of day is another story, or will it be included in the final report. Something just doesn't fit right to me yet...can't put my finger on it, but it's just something about the "overheard it" or hearsay factor that bothers me...I'd far prefer if she had paperwork.

Next question is how the final report is to be drafted. Will it be a "group effort" or an "overview" by the majority staffers? Also, will Hamilton bend over if it appears this regime really looks that incompetent. I think he will.

10. I know....the post you cite is about her secret testimony
my question is whether it will see the light of day in the final report, due out in July.

my guess is NO, just like the redacted 28 pages of congressional info regarding Saudi connections

where's the outrage?

will Ben-Veniste have the guts to ask Condia about Edmonds?

as Novak said, he's just a democratic hack, so he SHOULD have no qualms, should he?

it's all about the politics, right?

not about protecting us from future terra attacks, right?
