VIDEO: Scenes From Outside the Stunning Deposition of FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7348

Thanks to VelvetRevolution.us , here are some of the greatly condensed highlights from outside the National Whistleblowers Center on Saturday in D.C., as FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds gave her long-awaited under-oath deposition.

Long gagged under the "state secrets" privilege by the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration's DoJ chose not to re-invoke privilege, paving the way for this information to finally make it's way on to the uclassified public record.

Selected public commentary from the attorneys, candidate David Krikorian, and Edmonds, taken before, during breaks, and after the testimony follows. For many many more details, quotes and information about the information disclosed at the deposition, see our Live-Blog coverage from Saturday here...

2. Reading some of the revelations
I had no idea this was about Turkey, or I had forgotten. It is interesting to google some press coverage of the genocide resolution and see who was doing what. Pence apparently was persuaded to change his vote.

3. Let's see what DOJ does about this testimony.
There needs to be a Special Prosecutor appointed to go after Hastert and gang.
