Alright folks. Sibel Edmonds needs your help. She has filed an appeal<\/a> to the Supreme Court on the heels of the explosive new Vanity Fair article<\/a> which cites government investigators saying that the covering up of House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (among others’) corruption is the reason for the Justice Department’s violation of her rights, gagging her with the state secrets privilege – a privilege that does not even exist in any American statute. Now it is certain: the only national security Sibel threatens with her story is the job security of corrupt politicians.<\/p>\n

Don’t let this story die! Call, write, fax, email, cajole and complain until Edmonds gets some real coverage in the press.<\/p>\n

Fox<\/a> CNN ABC<\/a> NBC<\/a> CBS<\/a><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> The Washington Post<\/a> The Dallas Morning News<\/a> The Chicago Tribune<\/a> The Miami Herald<\/a><\/p>\n

How shameful is it, that after all this time, it took a Brit<\/a> to come to America, land of the first amendment<\/a>, to write this story for a fashion magazine?<\/p>\n

Very shameful.<\/p>\n
