Film Screening - "Gag The Whistleblower"

The actual title of this documentary film is "Kill The Messenger", however Sibel Edmonds is - very fortunately - still alive.

Soon after 9/11/2001, Sibel Edmonds was a translator of Middle-Eastern languages for the FBI, when she was solicited by a co-worker to join a ring of spies and arms dealers. She reported the strange and inappropriate proposal to her supervisors, who did nothing.

She reported what was going on to FBI bosses, who fired her despite federal whistleblower protections. Next, Sibel went to two US Senators in Washington, on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who confirmed what she was saying, then she and everyone else involved were slapped with gag-orders by the Ashcroft Justice Department, on the grounds of "National Security".

Since then, Sibel Edmonds has become "the most gagged person in US history", forbidden from talking about her case, even in court hearings to try and get her job back. In one bizarre "Star Chamber" http://en.wikipedia.o... ruling, Sibel and her ACLU attorneys were expelled from the courtroom, unable to present her case. Government lawyers were permitted to argue their side of the case in secret, without cross-examination or rebuttal.

This powerful, 84-minute film, made in France in 2006, exposes the corrupt and criminal Bush-Cheney administration all the way back to before 9/11. Most of the dialog is in English, with subtitles during only a few short sections.
