“You sound as silly and partisan as the guy over at KOS — trying to turn Sibel Edmonds’ story into something about political axe grinding when really it’s about the sale of nuclear secrets by government bureaucrats. Presidents come and go, bureaucrats remain entrenched. That is a core issue here, and a terrifying one in this case.
I write: “In her role as translator, Edmonds listened in on, or translated, hundreds of secretly intercepted conversations between State Department officials and foreign nationals from 1996 to 2002.”
Which means, you must realize, both administrations — Clinton’s and Bush’s — are culpable here. In fact, it was President Clinton who named Marc Grossman as Director General of the Foreign Service in March of 2000″
I could never sound as silly as Kos, Anne. OTOH I paid close attention to the Libby case where many members of Sibel’s group claimed Grossman was a champion of truth, Libby outed the very important Plame who was providing very critical anti proliferation services to the CIA.
That fit their narrative then. Grossman was Armitage Deputy. It was he who sought the INR which mentioned Plame and it was he who gave the memo to Armitage who blabbed it to Novak.
Grossman is a long time friend of Sibels’ friends and of Grossman who attended UCSB with Wilson, introduced Plame and Wilson and was a star prosecution witness against Libby. During all that time neither Sibel nor the VIPS (many of whom are in this “whistlblower” outfit headed by her) never said word one against Grossman, when surely if they KNEW he was working with our enemies, should have said so in Libby’s defense.
No?
