7. (R) Senator Grassely as much as admitting |
|
that she was fired because she was a whistleblower. He still stood up for the * but Siebel Edmonds came across as very very very legitimate.

I will never go back to watching that crap.
Now I do homework and listen to AirAmerica when I get home. Less TV is probably good for me anyway =).

6. She sat down and talked with her and I had to watch today just |
|
to see if any of their format had changed and to a large degree..IT DID ! There was Edmonds, PNAC was talked about, a fairer shake on Kerry and I watched to see if they changed their tone. I see this is a battle with some punch and instead of keeping Edmonds on the shelf they dusted it off and aired it !

8. The Senator says he needs whistle-blowers, to do his oversight job. |
|
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 07:38 PM by TacticalPeak
Said Shrub should have "Rose Garden ceremony" honoring whistle-blowers, to send the message throughout bureaudom that doing the right thing matters, and is approved at the highest levels. But won't blame aWol for not doing it it, promises to try harder to convince aWol.

9. Edmonds told Zahn she was intimidated and that many knew |
|
at the FBI the translators were not qualified and when she told the higher ups, they got upset. She said a lot and she is a dainty Turkish woman and spoke very well and credible. I came in here before I heard the FBI counteract the charges Edmonds was making. But Paula will reair !

is the most forthright, honest, and lovely woman. Our government has dealt her an extreme dishonor. I think they may have changed their tactics after Collen Rowleys well deserved elevated statis. They just roast everybody now. It truly stinks.
We should all speak up for Sibel. However we can.

12. But then she concluded with an FBI ex-NY-bureau chief who called |
|
whistle blowers "malcontents and disgruntled people" and said that the FBI is full of patriots doing their work...nothing to see here, move on. And she did not contradict him very forcefully. Then he said that with the "9-11 bucket of cold water" the FBI is wonderful, wonderful, yes sireeeeeee...now we have great communication and the PATRIOT ACT so nobody can stop us in our labor of investigation of wrongdoers, whoever they are and wherever they are... this guy gave me the dry heaves!

19. That was James Kallstrom (sp?) |
|
He was the FBI guy in charge of investigating the crash of that TWA plane off of Long Island.
You described his comments accurately.

14. Did Paula give her the veneer sneer? |
|
I loathe Paula Zahn but any exposure is good I suppose.

16. Actually she didn't But it does not seem that she understood what |
|
the Sibel Edmond's situation is all about. It is not whistle blowing...it it treason...that did not come across at all.
