WASHINGTON -- APRIL 27, 2004 01:30 ET -- TomFlocco.com -- Former FBI contract linguist Sibel Dinez Edmonds did not back down regarding reported evidence she uncovered
implicating espionage in the FBI and State Department when we recently asked whether she thought the explosive
information would ever see the light of day.
"As you know, I cannot say much about that; but why do you think Attorney General Ashcroft asserted State Secret
Privilege in my case when I decided to go public with what I had found in the translations?" she said, as we walked down
the circular marble staircase from the second floor 9-11 panel hearing room to the ground floor atrium in the Hart
Senate office building. Justice Department lawyers at the request of FBI Director Robert Mueller invoked the arcane
legal procedure which even allows the withholding of evidence documents from the judge.
We also asked Edmonds if she thought spies in the FBI and State Department contacted al Qaeda operatives--confirmed to
be living in the United States--about ongoing plans for President Bush’s new government policy directive [signed on
September 4, 2001] which would authorize tightened American security. This, but also whether espionage within the Bush
administration may have played a part in accelerating the attacks which occurred just seven days later.
