Translator in Eye of Storm on Retroactive Classification

WASHINGTON -- Sifting through old classified materials in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, FBI translator Sibel Edmonds said, she made an alarming discovery: Intercepts relevant to the terrorist plot, including references to skyscrapers, had been overlooked because they were badly translated into English.

(cut)

In a rare maneuver, Attorney General John Ashcroft has ordered that information about the Edmonds case be retroactively classified, even basic facts that have been posted on websites and discussed openly in meetings with members of Congress for two years. The Department of Justice also invoked the seldom-used ''state secrets" privilege to silence Edmonds in court. She has been blocked from testifying in a lawsuit brought by victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and was allowed to speak to the panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks only behind closed doors.

1. this was a "classic gag order" executed by the darkside...
Sibel had the goods on the ongoing corruption...asscroft could not let it out ....it would hurt puppetman.

The judge is a hired bush* thug....just like a crime family

3. Let's see them try and gag DU!
This is OUR country dammit..not some facist dictatorship.

This country could be headed for civil war if Busco steals another election and brings us to war in Syria and Iran.

2. Is she allowed to leave the country?
I wish she'd go someplace with a free press and no extradition treaty with the US.

Her story has to get out.

6. Corporate Media avoiding story...CNN..MSRNC...FAUX
They bow to their White House masters.

This is a MAJOR cover-up going on right under the noses of 275 million Americans.

IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.

What a world we're living in....

8. One more reason to vote DEM
We need a new AG and FBI Director who will declassify this and hang this corrupt maladministration out in the wind for everyone to see.
