However, in regards to people like Sibel... I will say the following.
If you look at how people in Government react to Sibel, it's VERY apparent that they don't want the information she has to get out.
1) She was offered a promotion, after the fact.
2) She was eventually fired for Whistleblowing as the Inspector General stated.
3) Senators Patrick Leahy, and Chuck Grassley found what she had to say "VERY CREDIBLE" as a result of their interviews with other members of the FBI.
4) Both Senators have written several letters regarding Sibel.
5) The Justice Department illegally placed a "Gag Order" on her. Stating "national security" and "state secrets".
6) The Justice Department classified her testimony after the information had already gotten out.
6) A Judge, with "great consternation" allowed the "Gag Order" to continue.
7) Her case was recently thrown out of court again, under the veil of "Secrecy".
8) The 9/11 Report mentioned her briefly. As a footnote in the back. After 3 1/2 hours of testimony.
Now, those are facts that can't be disputed. Without stating what Sibel had to say, which in itself, is absolutely terrifying, I think mentioning those things would at least peak someone's curiousity...
