An 18-year Counterintelligence and Counterterrorism Manager for the FBI has called for a Special Counsel to be appointed to investigate the allegations of FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. John M. Cole, who now works as an intelligence contractor for the Air Force, made his comments during an audio interview released late last week with radio journalist Peter B. Collins.

He also offered a detailed insider's look at the concerns among high-level officials inside the Bureau as Edmonds' disturbing allegations began coming to light back in 2002, before they would be quashed for seven long years by the Bush Administration's unprecedented use of the so-called "State Secrets Privilege" to gag her.

Earlier last week, following the publication of a remarkable American Conservative magazine cover story interview with Edmonds --- detailing a broad bribery, blackmail, and espionage conspiracy said to have been carried out between current and former members of the U.S. Congress, high-ranking State and Defense Department officials and covert operatives from Turkey and Israel, resulting in the theft and sale of nuclear weapons technology on the foreign black market --- Cole had been quoted by the magazine confirming one of Edmonds' key allegations.

"I am fully aware of the FBI's decade-long investigation of" Marc Grossman, he said in response to the AmCon article/interview. Grossman had served as the third-highest ranking official in the Bush State Department and was alleged by Edmonds in the interview, and in a sworn, video-taped deposition a month earlier, to have been the U.S. ringleader for a massive Turkish espionage scandal reaching through the halls of power and into top-secret nuclear facilities around the country to the benefit of allies and enemies alike. Cole said that the FBI's counterintelligence probe "ultimately was buried and covered up," and that he believes it is "long past time" for an investigation of the case to "bring about accountability."

In his subsequent interview with Collins last week (audio and text excerpts posted below) Cole elaborated on those comments in much greater detail, noting that Edmonds has been "one hundred percent right on the money, on the mark" and confirming the existence of an "ongoing and detailed effort by Turkey to develop influence in the United States" through various illegal activities.

"Yes, I can confirm that," Cole told Collins, "That's true."

The FBI veteran executive also offered an insider's account of the panic that ensued inside the highest echelons of the bureau following Edmonds' first disclosure of information in 2002, recounting how an executive assistant director admitted to him at the time, just after the story first broke, "Well, all I know is that everything that Sibel is stating is true. I read her file. Everything she stated is, in fact, accurate."
Cole further describes how the concerns about Edmonds ultimately led to the Bush Administration's two-time use of the Draconian "State Secrets Privilege" in hopes of keeping her extraordinary information from becoming public. "Everybody at headquarters level at the bureau knew that what she was saying was extremely accurate."

"I know they didn't want her to go out and speak about it at all," Cole revealed, "and I know they were trying to figure out ways of keeping this whole thing quiet, because they didn't want Sibel to come out."

He also offered information which directly counters one of the criticisms of Edmonds' allegations as frequently offered by skeptics. Namely, that as a short time FBI contract translator --- even though she was tasked to review some seven years of counterintelligence wiretaps made from 1996 to 2002 --- she couldn't have had enough understanding of the full scope of the investigations to understand what was really going on.

    • FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
      Gap International of Philadelphia -
      HEADED TO TRIAL FOR THEFT
      TRIAL DATE: STOPPED

      IMMINENT TRIAL SEEKING $50 MILLION IN DAMAGES FROM PHILADELPHIA COMPANY

      Bay Area/Oakland, CA.: Business consulting giant Gap International of Philadelphia finds itself the target of a lawsuit from another G.A.P. International, for stealing the domain website www.gapinternaional.com from a small business owner based in Marin County, CA.

      “I went to work one day and my website and all my emails were gone” tells Gerard Ange’, CEO of G.A.P. International satellite television productions and the rightful owner of the domain name www.gapinternational.com since 2000. “I went to log on to my own website and this consulting firm in Philadelphia comes up, once I overcame the shock and confusion, I knew there was something seriously wrong.”

      Coincidentally, the Director of web development for Philadelphia based Gap International, a global business consulting firm that lists U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Army, U.S. Department of Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Federal Executive Institute, Owens Corning, AstraZeneca, Shire Pharmaceuticals, Genentech, and Best Buy among its distinguished client list, contacted Mr. Ange’ with an “unsolicited e-mail” {see below} two months prior to his website disappearing about purchasing the domain name from him.

      Gap International of Philadelphia was forwarding payment within weeks of their initial inquiry to the individual who hosted the web domain, also a co-defendant in the case. By the time Ange’ discovered what hit him the Philadelphia based company had already received the domain name and posted up their website.

      Mr. Ange’s lawyer, stated, “The big-guy wanted something only my client owned and before he knew, the little guy was flattened and his property was gone.” He went on to say that he expects this case will set a precedent when it comes to internet crimes.

      Mr. Ange’ suffered colossal damages to his business G.A.P. International and to his start-up project named WIN-TV, short for World Indigenous Network,{see below} a satellite and cable television channel similar to the Discovery Channel and to APTN, a Canadian television network that airs television programming sharing the creative talents and programs aimed at bridging the creative and cultural understanding of all Native and Non-Native people throughout the world.
      A 2001 theft that was committed here is comparable to this litigation also transpired in California where plaintiff Gary Kremen was awarded $65 million for theft of his website.

    • THE LARGEST POLITICAL ESPIONAGE BLACKMAIL BRIBERY SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY

      .

      Question#1:

      What does Turkey and... now... the USA both have in common?

      The Answer: No Middle Class...

      .

      Question#2:
      Who pays the taxes In Turkey ?

      Answer: Not the rich and well connected-!

      .

      Question#3:
      Why would all of these people commit Treason?

      Answer: The motivation is simple.... it's all about personal greed... It's about money and about Social Status. It's about... lots of $$$ Money and always... wanting more..... hoarding money!

      What we are observing is.....
      Greed without Borders = Treason without Borders!

      The widening gap between the Mega Rich and the newly poor. Is all driven by greed and personal gain. Creating a Class system... living in separate realities = Building huge mega estates surrounded by huge walls with big Iron gates and security cameras to protect themselves from those pesky poor people.

      It has been that way in the upper 1% of the fortunate families in Turkey for many years. Today... that US 1% expects that and.... a thirst for even more at the cost of the rest of the population! Today the middle class here in the USA is on the endangered species list!

      Just look at AIG handing out $191 million in "Holiday Bonuses" given to the top 1% of their Dream Team ~ $191 million Dollars ~ that money all came from all of us paying for our homes as they fixed the books and made billions. and sold those loans making more billions.... and when their Pyramid Game collapsed they managed to Extort Billions more money from our US Treasury... And now blinded with their arrogance that money "bail out" is destined to be Huge Mega-Boniness for the very wealthy.

      In a time where most families are struggling to keep from being homeless. This 1% of the population is still expecting to be handing out obscene mega bonuses to their friends.

      These spoiled children still think... They are special and they deserve this money. "They feel.. It's only about them" and not about us. They live in a world where everything has a price!!! And there is no Right or Wrong... Only "$$$ How much???"

      The out come of this game is simple....

      The Rich get Richer... and the Poor get Poorer.

      I learned this first hand...

    • Okay, I'm biased because I'm Greek, but Grandpa didn't have anything good to say about the Turks; there was this little matter of them wanting to slaughter him and his family.

      There seems to be no end to the parade of conscience-free traitors willing to sell their country out for a few trinkets and an orgasm or two. Pathetic.
