Sibel Edmonds Denied Day in Court

And justice for all:

    A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Tuesday by a whistle-blower who alleged security lapses in the FBI’s translator program, ruling that her claims might expose government secrets that could damage national security.

    U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said he was satisfied with claims by Attorney General John Ashcroft and a senior FBI official that the civil lawsuit by Sibel Edmonds could expose intelligence-gathering methods and disrupt diplomatic relations with foreign governments.

    The judge said he couldn’t explain further because his explanation itself would expose sensitive secrets.

Yeah, such as the utter corruption, thuggery, and incompetence of America’s intelligence agencies. But are those really secrets?
