Kudos to University of Washington Daily: first to break Sibel Edmonds story?

[pnwmom]

I might be wrong, but a google search leads me to believe that the student-run University of Washington Daily is the first newspaper in the U.S. to cover the Sibel Edmonds story. Good for them.

Nuclear Treason?

In a bombshell case, former FBI translator and whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds claims U.S. officials were involved in selling classified nuclear weapons secrets to the highest bidder: Turkey, Israel, Pakistan and non-state terrorist groups.

“I’d say what she has is far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers,” said Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon whistle-blower who revealed the government’s early knowledge that the Vietnam War would not be won.

As a translator, Edmonds overheard countless hours of diplomatic com-munication secretly recorded by FBI investigations.

“If you made public all the information that the FBI have on this case, you will see very high-level people going through criminal trials,” Edmonds told London’s Sunday Times.
