The beans just keep a-spillin'

You may have heard about Sibel Edmonds, the FBI translator who is revealing more details about administration foreknowledge of the World Trade Center attacks. If you're not up to speed, check out this piece by the fine (if unfortunately named) British reporter Andrew Buncombe. An excerpt:


Sibel Edmonds said she spent more than three hours in a closed session with the commission's investigators providing information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place...

She told The Independent yesterday: "I gave [the commission] details of specific investigation files, the specific dates, specific target information, specific managers in charge of the investigation. I gave them everything so that they could go back and follow up. This is not hearsay. These are things that are documented.


The administration's response? They are seeking a gag order to stop her from offering further testimony. She must be telling the truth; why else would they attempt to silence her?
