Fear tactics are keeping Sibel Edmonds gagged

the brad blog and luke ryland have been doing incredible yeoman's work in coaxing a government-intimidated domestic media into allowing sibel edmonds to tell her story... it's an AMERICAN story, about AMERICAN corruption, that should be covered by AMERICAN media, but, so far, no takers, although offers from foreign media as well as u.s. alternative media have flooded in... sibel, quite understandably, is seeking a one-time, credible, NATIONAL platform to air her explosive charges so, if she is subsequently hustled off to a cia black site, it will have to be done in full public view rather than seen through the filter of the ever-"questionable" lens of the blogosphere and alternative media...

today, on the brad blog, daniel ellsberg offers his perspective on sibel's situation...

Ellsberg says there's a reason that the Government, and both political parties, would rather not deal with something as explosive as Sibel's charges. Much like his own case, when the Republican Nixon administration fought against publication of the Pentagon Papers even though they were bound to embarrass the Democratic Johnson administration far more than Nixon's.

"It involves our allies in various places in the Middle East. It involves our allies in Turkey and in Afghanistan and involves people in our Congress and our State Department," he says.

Yes, Israel and the extremely powerful AIPAC lobby which supports both parties, is said to be involved as well.

"There's no way that the President and Vice-President can escape culpability in this case," Ellsberg charges. "If they claim they don't know about it, then they are culpable in not knowing about it, and that's impeachable right there."

i say, let's get this party started...
