billion in 1996. That amount makes up nearly a quarter of Turkey’s

Wikipedia
Sibel Deniz Edmonds (born 1970) is a Turkish-American[1][2][3] former
FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers
Coalition (NSWBC). Edmonds was fired from her position as a language
specialist at the FBI's Washington Field Office in March, 2002, after
she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving
foreign nationals, alleging serious acts of security breaches,
cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence which, she
contended, presented a danger to the United States' security. Since
that time, court proceedings on her whistleblower claims have been
blocked by the assertion of State Secrets Privilege. On March 29,
2006, she was awarded the PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award in
recognition of her defense of free speech as it applies to the written
word.[4]
Edmonds alleges that in the course of her work for the government, she
found evidence that the FBI, State Department, and Pentagon had been
infiltrated by a Turkish
and Israeli-run intelligence network
that paid high-ranking American officials to steal nuclear weapons
secrets.[7] In addition, she claims that the FBI received information
in April 2001, from a reliable Iranian intelligence asset, that Osama
Bin Laden was planning attacks on 4-5 cities with planes, some of the
people were already in the country and the attacks would happen in a
few months.[8][9] She also accused members of the FBI's translation
unit of sabotage, intimidation, corruption and incompetence.[10][11]
Edmonds and government watchdog groups contend the State Department's
invocation of the State Secrets Privilege barring her testimony on
these subjects is not in the interests of the general public, but is
instead designed to protect Bush administration and Department of
Justice officials

high-ranking US officials in an FBI-monitored nuclear smuggling ring
linked to Pakistani nuclear scientist A. Q. Khan. The letter makes a
number of allegations about the ring, some of which corroborate
similar allegations previously made by FBI whistleblower Sibel

official, who it says was recorded speaking to a counterpart at the
Turkish embassy between August and December 2001. During this time the
official passed on a warning that the smuggling ring should not deal
with Brewster Jennings & Associates, as it was a CIA front (see
Summer-Autumn 2001). The letter also says that Turkish FBI
surveillance targets talked to agents of Pakistan’s ISI based at the
Pakistani embassy in Washington, and that “operatives” at the
American-Turkish Council (ATC) were also monitored. The tip-off
instructs the Coalition to submit a Freedom of Information Request for
the specific file number, but the FBI will say that the file does not

"What Sibel revealed to us, and has been revealing little

nuclear designs and parts for the AQ Khan network, and it was
done not through Pakistani intelligence directly, but through
the Turkish embassy. ... Turkish
businessmen who got the information and gave it to Turkish
military attaches, who then turned it over to the ISI, and from
there went on to the nuclear black market. To procure these
parts and designs, high government US officials helped
facilitate Turkish-Israeli PhD students to get into nuclear
facilities in the US, they worked with the RAND corporation as
well, some moles with RAND to help get this information. There
was at least one American company, Giza Technologies, that was
helping with parts, probably there were others, and this thing
went on from 1995 at least until 2002, and it could still be
going on - when this operation was shut down by the Dept of

tips off members of a nuclear smuggling ring about a CIA operation to

Blog
Edmonds will
later leave the FBI, becoming a whistleblower, and will say she knows
this based on telephone conversations she translated. The ring is
headed by Pakistani nuclear scientist A. Q. Khan, and includes
Pakistan’s ISI intelligence agency, as well as Turkish and Israeli
representatives. The official is said to tell a member of the ring
that a company the ring wants to do business with, Brewster Jennings
& Associates, is a CIA front company. Brewster Jennings &
Associates is a front for Valerie Plame Wilson, who will later be
outed as a CIA officer in 2003, and possibly other operatives. A group
of Turkish agents come to the US on the pretext of researching
alternative energy sources and are introduced to Brewster Jennings
through a lobby group, the American Turkish Council (ATC). The Turks
apparently believe Brewster Jennings are energy consultants and plan
to hire them. According to Edmonds, the State Department official
finds out about this and contacts a foreign target under FBI
surveillance, telling him, “[Y]ou need to stay away from Brewster
Jennings because they are a cover for the government.” The FBI
target then warns several people about Brewster Jennings, including a
person at the ATC and an ISI agent, and Plame Wilson is moved to
another operation."
