Sibel Edmonds<\/a>, former contract-FBI translator\/whistleblower and “most gagged person in U.S. history” has finally told all – to Antiwar.com’s Philip Giraldi. It’s all in the cover story for November’s issue of The American Conservative<\/em><\/a> magazine, “Who’s Afraid of Sibel Edmonds?” which hits the stands (and Website) on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"\"Last month, Edmonds was deposed in a civil lawsuit for 6 hours (video and transcript here<\/a>), and told as much of her story as she ever has, and all together in one place. Now, however, she has gone much further and apparently told Giraldi everything<\/em>, less sources and methods.<\/p>\n

For those who’ve been waiting for the day when this story would break back<\/a> into the mainstream media, this may be the time to get out your trusty old letter-to-the-editor pen, set your speed-dial to the local morning news radio stations, and make sure to Facebook friend your 2nd cousin at CNN so you can send him a message when the article goes online.<\/p>\n

How could they possibly continue to ignore such tales of drugs, guns, spies, lies, bribes, sex, blackmail, terrorism and the nuke black market from such an inside source?<\/p>\n

Tuesday on Antiwar Radio, I’ll be speaking with Giraldi, David Rose<\/a><\/span> and Joe Lauria<\/a> – the journalists who’ve done the best and most “credentialed” reporting on her case – about all of Edmonds’ explosive allegations. Listen live 2-4 Eastern at Antiwar.com\/radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Brad Friedman has more details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update II<\/strong>: The interview is now online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update III:<\/strong> My interview of Philip Giraldi and Joe Lauria here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update IV:<\/strong> Brad Friedman has much more on this developing story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
