1. Claims she's the most gagged (gag orders/no talking) |
|
American in US history and no one is asking why.

3. In other articles she's also noted this in the past... |
|
as part of her frustration. She notes that even reading her birth date from her drivers license, amongst a few other personal information items about her, would be considered a crime the way the states secret gag was placed upon her.
I have to say that if it were me in her shoes, I would feel incredibly frustrated and trapped, having to watch whatever I say being a potential "federal crime". It must drive her nuts! I really hope that she gets heard by the Supreme Court to overcome this States Secret gag, if not for getting her story out, at least for her mental health in being able to restore her personal freedoms that I think she probably feels are so cramped right now.

2. I saw this this morning... |

A few notes on this...
- Sibel reiterates that many sets of individuals have been given the names of who's names are on the list along with Dennis Hastert as having being influenced by "foreign lobbyists", and that there are "countries" involved, not just a "country" (Turkey). She's obviously got more info on that. - she notes that the charities that are being publicly investigated for their influences over 9/11 financing are small potatoes compared to the drug money that was used to finance the terrorists. She says that this sort of investigation isn't being done and hints (though she doesn't say this directly) that this is what the government is covering up. - David Rose notes that since the Vanity Fair article a new event has happened that wasn't included but that is also significant is that the Dickersons investigation is now being reopened after their original case was closed earlier. That is significant, as it was Melek Can Dickerson's lie detector test "testimony" (the Vanity Fair article says that it asks insufficiently vague questions), that is what lead to Sibel's firing. - One little "nit" I had that I'm sure that Sibel might correct as a translator, but I think she was too polite to do so in the interview (note that she never stated Melek's name in it)... It is not really important, but the correct pronunciation for Melek Can Dickerson is Melek "Jan" Dickerson. Both Amy and David Rose mispronounced it. Turks pronounce "c" as "j" (not "k") and "c" with a cedille underneath as "ch". That is why in other articles you read her "nickname" as being "Jan" instead of "Melek Can". Those in the media reading this, please note for future reference, especially if this story starts to get more legs.
