Wash Post obliquely mentions Sibel Edmonds (WTF?)

I find this note very curious:

Excerpt:

Three Stories You Won't Read Here

British and Canadian papers are trumpeting stories that the mainstream American press isn't touching -- at least not yet.

Tim Harper writes in the Toronto Star that Sibel Edmonds, "who was hired as a translator by the FBI nine days after the attacks, told the investigative panel she has seen and handled intelligence documents and cables that show Rice, the national security adviser, is wrong when she says there was no advance warning of air attacks on U.S. soil." (Also reported Friday by Andrew Buncombe of the Independent.)

David Rose of the Observer writes: "President George Bush first asked Tony Blair to support the removal of Saddam Hussein from power at a private White House dinner nine days after the terror attacks of 11 September, 2001."

Julian Coman of the Telegraph writes: "John Dean, Richard Nixon's legal counsel who was jailed for his part in the Watergate scandal, has accused the Bush administration of trumping even the Nixon regime in secrecy, deception and political cynicism."

1. Very Curious Indeed!

I don't know what to make of these "news" outlets. It seems like they go out of their way to hire the most curiously uncurious of reporters. Bombshell after bombshell goes by them they are like Charlie Brown looking for the ball after it's dropped and four runs have stolled in.

Hello Swag, darling!

2. Note to Mr. Froomkin

to: [e-mail]

I find your April 5 note "Three Stories You Won't Read Here" bizarre, as regards the Sible Edmonds story.

Not only was Sibel Edmonds interviewed on 60 Minutes in 2002, she was also interviewed in your own Washington Post that same year. What is baffling is why her story has disappeared from US news sources since then, and why the Washington Post has apparently forgotten its own story.

4. weird

I sent some of these articles to a lot of editors and
pubs under the heading "news in the UK, but not here".

now here's the Post telling us that there
are stories we are not allowed to hear.
strange.....
