Enough of the guessing games!
What can we do to support Sibel Edmonds and other whistle
blowers who have the hard facts that we need? It seems to
me that we need some special legislation to allow these
people to speak without fear for their lives and their
families and their freedom and their livelihood ... something
to the effect that the public's need to know the fundamental
facts re September 11 overrides purported "national security"
concerns that have so far been used to enforce silence of those
who want to speak out. Any legal expertise out there? I'm a
complete idiot on legal issues - I know that - *constructive*
suggestions please.

1. You can't get good legislation passed by those in power whose interests
would be threatened by that legislation.

So what you have to do is educate the public. Only the public can
change such things.
