| For sale: WestÂ’s deadly nuclear secrets |
| 2008-01-06 |
| 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. |

| #10 Oh, Great... Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordie England throws Coughlin under the bus to open up the Pentagon (Our Pentagon, of all places) to help get Anti-USA islaamist Jee-Haw-Dees into the DOD decision-making process. Will this effing madness ever stop? |

| #9 I pretty much agree with Angleton but he left out certain key memes: 1: No mention of MOABS 2. No mention of wrapping in a pigskin shroud 3. No mention of baconfat 5. No mention of dropping out of an airplane. Now to remedy this, Ima bring it all together for you.... My mullah was targeted by a MOAB, he was strpped to and dropper off deh plane! But the bacon fat and the pig shroud saved him ass from that nutty olde crowd |

| #8 The DoD jihadist analyst I'm referring to is Stephen Coughlin who was fired in the last 72 hours. Sorry. I didn't make that clear. |

| #7 I hope someone credible follows up on this story. It's not that hard to believe and is disturbing on so many levels. From what I've read in the blogs the last few days, the DoD managed to fire the ONLY qualified jihadist analyst on staff in the Pentagon. Couldn't happen you think? Well, I wouldn't have thought it possible that six months to the day from 9-11 two of the muzzie terrs that flew planes into our cities would receieve their "student visas' in the mail from immigration & naturalization. But Atta and al-Shehhi did. |

| #6 That lethal injection might be a good idea for certain executive Pentagon and others in the US heirarchy. No trials. Just put a pistol next to the candidate and tell him you will wait outside and close the door for the sound of the shot. I have been thinking that same thing for some time now. We are so infected with traitors, it is past time to start. |

| #4 These things may very well prove to be true. This woman's life isnt worth a damn dime. I think a large injection of an excessive heart stimulant will be headed her way. $300,000 and a team should be right on it. Sibel is as good as dead. The only thing that would keep her alive would be the secrets are already out ,but not acted upon, and that envelope can be opened if she is taken out. There are going to be a lot of people who may not be able to move toward the door fast enough. FBI and US Security are going to be extremely cautious of high US govt officials who can ruin a career with a phone call. If you were an FBI or US Security official with access to the material you would have to be extremely wary of your own seniors. Going through "channels" conventionally might not be a good idea. That lethal injection might be a good idea for certain executive Pentagon and others in the US heirarchy. No trials. Just put a pistol next to the candidate and tell him you will wait outside and close the door for the sound of the shot. The difficulty with having and using a Wetwork Team is that once you have them what do you do to retire them...you HAVE to keep them busy. The answer is that you have a second string to use on the first team. A single player who is part of the first string Team would be best. The trouble today is that the George Tenets and the Porter Goss's wash after they leave the toilet they are so clean. We need a man who pisses and doesnt wash his hands. Its the little things that point down the hole. |

| #3 Intelligence analysts say that members of the ISI were close to Al-Qaeda before and after 9/11. Indeed, Ahmad was accused of sanctioning a $100,000 wire payment to Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers, immediately before the attacks. A candidate for a cage in Gitmo |

| #2 “If you are calling me to say somebody said that I took money, that’s outrageous . . . I do not have anything to say about such stupid ridiculous things as this.” I agree, it would be a stupid ridiculous thing to admit to. |

| #1 They were helped, she says, by the high-ranking State Department official who provided some of their moles – mainly PhD students – with security clearance to work in sensitive nuclear research facilities. These included the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory in New Mexico, which is responsible for the security of the US nuclear deterrent. Lets see, Clinton administration used increased access to the National Labs to support its policy of engagement with China. Then we have small warhead technology, security clearances, Los Alamos, PhD students, 1997 Clinton trip to China (150 members of Congress recommended he not go), Wen-ho-Lee, Sandy Berger briefed on Las Alamos spy situation. White House sought to minimize the espionage issue. FBI did not aggressively pursue the crminal investigation of lab theft. Former Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung has told Justice investigators that he passed on to the Democratic Party more than $100,000 from Liu Chao Ying, an official of a Chinese aerospace company who is also an officer in the Chinese army and the daughter of a top official in the Beijing regime. After the donation, Clinton approved a waiver that allowed Loral Space and Communications -- whose chief executive officer, Bernard Schwartz, is a leading Democratic Party donor -- to launch one of its satellites on top of a Chinese rocket. Looks like a duck. Swims like a duck. Quacks like a duck..... |
