If you get a chance, go to www.whatreallyhappened.com and listen to Mike Revero's interview with Sibel Edmonds about her book: "Classified Woman", or go to the book's website: www.classifiedwoman.com it will open your eyes.

The Sibel Edmonds Story In this startling new memoir, Sibel Edmonds�the most classified woman in U.S. history�takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded. Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public�s right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds� story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.

USA Orders & Shipment International Orders & Shipment Praise for �Classified Woman� What I find so remarkable is Sibel�s persistence in trying every avenue and possible outlet in trying to get the truth out. When going up the chain of command in the executive branch and Inspector General internal mechanisms for investigating fraud, waste, and abuse went nowhere, she sought judicial remedy by filing lawsuits only to be improperly gagged by �state secrecy privilege�. Along the way she also sought congressional assistance, testified to the 9-11 Commission, and engaged with various media and other non-governmental organizations. It�s somewhat ironic that Sibel herself demonstrated such enormous energy and passion throughout this decade quite the opposite of the �boiling frog� idiom she uses for her website as a warning to others. If her book can inspire readers to summon even 1/100th of the determination and resolve she has modeled, there�s hope for us! -- Coleen Rowley Retired FBI Agent & Time Magazine Person of the Year, 2002 I've read a million reviews of nonfiction books about our government that referred to them as "page-turners" and "gripping dramas," but I had never read a book that actually fit that description until now... Yet, thus far, no branch of our government has lifted its little finger to fix the problem of secrecy and the corruption it breeds, which Edmonds argues has grown far worse under President Obama. That's why this book should be spread far and wide, and read aloud to our misrepresentatives in Congress if necessary. This book is a masterpiece that reveals both the details and the broader pattern of corruption and unaccountability in Washington, D.C. Edmonds has not exposed bad apples, but a rotten barrel of toxic waste that will sooner or later infect us all. -- David Swanson Author & Activist, WarisaCrime.Org Log In or Register Register Log in Entries RSS Comments RSS WordPress.org |
