A WHISTLEBLOWER has made a series of extraordinary claims about how corrupt government officials allowed Pakistan and other states to steal nuclear weapons secrets.
Sibel Edmonds, a 37-year-old former Turkish language translator for the FBI, listened into hundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations while based at the agency’s Washington field office.
She approached The Sunday Times last month after reading about an Al-Qaeda terrorist who had revealed his role in training some of the 9/11 hijackers while he was in Turkey.
Edmonds described how foreign intelligence agents had enlisted the support of US officials to acquire a network of moles in sensitive military and nuclear institutions.
Among the hours of covert tape recordings, she says she heard evidence that one well-known senior official in the US State Department was being paid by Turkish agents in Washington who were selling the information on to black market buyers, including Pakistan.
The name of the official – who has held a series of top government posts – is known to The Sunday Times. He strongly denies the claims.

*BUMP* !
Who, I wonder?
Clinton or Carter appointee???
BUMP-T0-THE-TRUTH!
Indeed it would, and even more so if this person is as well known as The Sunday Times asserts.
This doesn’t surprise me one bit. Regretably, it also doesn’t surprise me that after the whistle was blown absolutely nothing was done about it, and that the current administration continues to cover it up.
I love vague articles. They just let your mind go...
Only $15K ?
So, who is this State Dept “mole” ? I hope he/she gets outed & prosecuted, just like Sandy Burglar was punished, ha.
The state department has been corrupted for a very long time. As early as the 1930’s communists were infiltrating the department, and in the 1990s, traitorous activities by state department heads and bureaucrats flourished, with never a consequence.
I hope this translator is prepared to go into hiding, fast. For one thing, State and all of the agencies have had lots of trouble with their translators, many of whom are either sympathizers with the jihad or simply anti-American and do not hesitate to twist or omit conversations that might make their guys look bad. Translation services are heavily infiltrated. So she’s probably not going to be in the good graces of whatever translation department she works for, at best, and her life is going to be at risk, at worst.
A lot of the NSA's contract Mandarin translation/interpretation folks for the Kunia groundstation on Oahu (for spying on Asia-Pacific SigInt) were working FOR THE PRC...!
Don't really know how bad the damage is but my understanding is that it's pretty bad...
How long did Bell (at Hughes) go away for?
I often wonder if anyone in the State Department is working in the interests of this country. I suspect that many are working to further their own interests, financial, political or ideological.
Figures.
You posted, a while back, some docs about this.
StillProud posted something about the Islamic bomb that corresponded to those translations.
And I had some material from the Charlie Wilson War thread that showed the Islamic Bomb was bought with the blackmarket that was created of weapons.

Now I’m going to have to search my butt off to find this old thread.
You remember this? Maybe you bookmarked the link?
Just incredible...
Richardson??? Los Alamos “lost” a lot of stuff to the orientals on his watch with Clinton.
