I just received this update from Sibel Edmonds and I am sure you will find it interesting and another peel of the oinion...
"Update: Judge Reggie Walton canceled/postponed the hearing on June 14, 10:00 AM, with no reason cited, and no future date scheduled. This is the fourth time he has done this in the past two years!!! However, Daniel Ellsberg and I are still on. We'll be in front of the Court (3rd and Constitution Ave.) on Monday, June 14, at 9:30 AM, to hold our press conference and to deliver speeches Re: Gagging the Congress, blocking IG report, hindering court proceedings, and 9-11 cover-ups. We would love to see as many people as possible to gather there for support. We'll issue our formal press invitation on Thursday evening.
Thank you for all your support.
Best, Sibel
An email from Sibel Edmonds:
For over two years Attorney General John Ashcroft has been relentlessly engaged in covering up my reports and investigations into my allegations. He has asserted the rarely invoked State Secret Privilege in my court proceedings, and has used it to quash a subpoena request for my deposition from attorneys representing 9/11 family members on information regarding 9/11.
Ashcroft is not protecting 'national security' or 'state secrets' of the United States. On the contrary, he is endangering our national security by covering up facts and information related to criminal and terrorist activities against this country and it's citizens.
Ashcroft is fully aware that making this information public will bring about the question of accountability, will expose serious criminal activities, and his complicity in covering up.
On Monday, June 14, 2004, at 10:00 AM, Judge Reggie Walton is expected to issue his ruling on the state secret privilege assertion by AG Ashcroft, which is intended to gag me. The hearing will be held in US District Court for the District of Columbia, located at 3rd and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, Judge Walton's courtroom. Please attend if you can, since by your presence both the court and Ashcroft will understand that this attempt to cover up will not go unnoticed.
I will be there, in front of the Court's Constitution Avenue entrance, at 9:30 AM, and will be joined by Daniel Ellsberg to make press statements and to meet with all of you.

Hope to see you there,

Regarding Sibel Edmonds' CBS 60 minutes interview.
CBS will be making a decision as to whether to air the interview this Sunday or the following Sunday. This decision is being made between now and tommorow morning.
Because Sibel Edmonds has a press conference this coming Monday and a Friday opportunity for congresspersons to meeet with her in a secured setting where she will be able to legally bypass the gag order and speak what she knows. It is vital that the CBS interview air this Sunday, thus giving time for Congress and other folks to respond to the story.
What is this about? Not enough context to make any sense of it.

FBI Arab translators cheered Sept. 11
By Paul Sperry WASHINGTON – In a shocking revelation, an FBI whistleblower claims some Arab-Americans translating Arabic intercepts for the FBI spoke approvingly of the terrorist attacks on America more than two years ago. Former FBI translator Sibel D. Edmonds says translators of Middle Eastern origin working for the FBI's Washington field office maintain an "us"-versus-"them" attitude that's so strong it may be compromising al-Qaida investigations.
