FBI Agent:Turkey Bribes Congress To Deny Armenian Genocide 3

FBI language specialist Sibel Edmonds was fired from her job with the FBI's Washington Field Office in March 2002. Her crime was reporting security breaches, cover-ups, blocking of intelligence, and the bribery of U.S. individuals including high-ranking officials. The State Secret Privilege has often been invoked to block court proceedings on her case, and the U.S. Congress has even been gagged to prevent further discussion. Edmonds uncovered, for example, a covert relationship between Turkish groups and former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), who reportedly received tens of thousands of dollars in bribes in return for withdrawing the Armenian Genocide Resolution from the House floor in 2000. Born in Iran in 1970, Edmonds received her BA in criminal justice and psychology from George Washington University and her MA in public policy and international commerce from George Mason University. She is the founder and director of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC) and in 2006, received the PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award. She speaks Turkish, Farsi and Azerbaijani. * Bangladesh * Bhutan * Brunei * Cambodia * China * India * Indonesia * Republic of Korea * Laos * Malaysia * Maldives * Mongolia * Myanmar * Nepal * North Korea * Pakistan * Philippines * Singapore * Sri Lanka * Thailand * Timor-Leste * Viet Nam * Taiwan * ACD * APEC * ASEAN * ASEM * EAS * ESCAP * SAARC * Other Issues Pacific * Australia * Fiji * Kiribati * Marshall * Micronesia * Nauru * New Zealand * Palau * Papua New Guinea * Samoa * Solomon * Tonga * Tuvalu * Vanuatu * ESCAP * PIF * Other Issues Europe * Albania * Andorra * Armenia * Austria * Azerbaijan * Belarus * Belgium * Bosnia and Herzegovina * Bulgaria * Croatia * Cyprus * Czech Republic * Denmark * Estonia * Finland * France * Georgia * Germany * Greece * Hungary * Iceland * Ireland * Italy * Kazakhstan * Kosovo * Kyrgyz Republic * Latvia * Liechtenstein * Lithuania * Luxembourg * Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia * Malta * Moldova * Monaco * Montenegro * Netherlands * Norway * Poland * Portugal * Romania * Russia * San Marino * Serbia * Slovak Republic * Slovenia * Spain * Sweden * Switzerland * Tajikistan * Turkmenistan * U.K. * Ukraine * Uzbekistan * Vatican * EU * ASEM * OSCE * NATO * Other Issues North America * Canada * United States Latin America * Antigua and Barbuda * Argentine * Bahamas * Barbados * Belize * Bolivia * Brazil * Chile * Colombia * Costa Rica * Cuba * Commonwealth of Dominica * Dominican Republic * Ecuador * El Salvador * Grenada * Guatemala * Guyana * Haiti * Honduras * Jamaica * Mexico * Nicaragua * Panama * Paraguay * Peru * Saint Christopher and Nevis * Saint Lucia * Saint Vincent and the Grenadines * Suriname * Trinidad and Tobago * Uruguay * Venezuela * Other Issues Middle East * Afghanistan * Bahrain * Iran * Iraq * Israel * Jordan * Kuwait * Lebanon * Oman * Qatar * Saudi Arabia * Syria * Turkey * United Arab Emirates * Yemen * Palestinian Authorities * Other Issues Africa * Algeria * Angola * Benin * Botswana * Burkina Faso * Burundi * Cameroon * Cape Verde * Central African Republic * Chad * Comoros * Republic of Congo * the Democratic Republic of the Congo * Cote d'Ivoire * Djibouti * Egypt * Equatorial Guinea * Eritrea * Ethiopia * Gabonese Republic * Gambia * Ghana * Guinea * Guinea-Bissau * Kenya * Lesotho * Liberia * Libya * Madagascar * Malawi * Mali * Mauritania * Mauritius * Morocco * Mozambique * Namibia * Niger * Nigeria * Rwanda * Sao Tome and Principe * Senegal * Seychelles * Sierra Leone * Somalia * South Africa * Sudan * Swaziland * Tanzania * Togo * Tunisia * Uganda * Zambia * Zimbabwe * AU * TICAD *
