Ray McGovern & Sibel Edmonds - intell insiders on the air 7 pm Eastern

[SophieZ]

Sibel Edmonds, the contract FBI translator who has spoken elsewhere of money laundering; she was fired, and Ashcroft has basically tried to gag her.



and Ray McGovern. He is a 27-year veteran of the CIA, and a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity

Excerpts from a March 10, 2004 Mother Jones article on him called "The Skeptical Spy."

MJ: you're hearing from other retired and resigned intelligence professionals?

RM: Exactly, and from virtually all the agencies, not just CIA. We're hearing from some very distinguished operations officers, and from the FBI, Defense Intelligence, from the NSA, Army Intelligence, and from the State Department.

MJ: Why are you speaking out like this?

RM: Because there is no English word to describe our outrage. We've been watching this for a year now, and we've published eleven memos on what the Bush administration has done. We're just aghast at what we saw all during 2002.

We have never seen anything like this orchestrated campaign, as the Administration chose to play on America's real suffering and trauma to sell an illegal and unnecessary war.

MJ: Can the intelligence apparatus be fixed?

RM: For the first time in my forty years of watching intelligence, I'm not sure it can be fixed. There are structural faults, almost literally structural, in the way the CIA is set up.

1. Somehow we NEED to give these people a louder voice

Not only are THEY getting screwed personally and professionally, but our security is being compromised for political purposes, People need to know how petty, unprofessional, and mean-spirited this administration is. And how little regard they actually have for the American people.

Can they not "talk" because of gag orders?

And, totally unrelated and inappropriate, Sibel Edmonds is a hottie.

Edmonds is releasing an open letter to Thomas Kean, that should be available tomorrow, 8/2/04. Keep an eye out for it.
