It is reassuring that folks post these videos on the net. There were not very many in the audience, I hope more will watch this from at home; especially those who would like to step forward and explain what has been going on. Soon, EVERY politician associated with the BUSH team will need to come under close investigation, since they are so closely associated with a criminal cabal. Why wait until then, come forward now, and get these criminals out of Washington for good. We need a repeat of the Congressional decision of 1777 that encouraged whistle-blowing, even to the extent of guaranteeing the coverage of related legal fees. Thank-you Sibel, for stepping forth! May many be inspired by you! drbeeth, Brussels

Agreed, Jenny!

Dr. Beeth, it will be interesting to see what happens one day when justice is no longer obstructed and patriotic Americans are no longer gagged.

Sibel, thank you for what you are going through, and for your perseverance. It is truly a blessing that you have adopted the US as your country. It is to our honor and our privilege that you are here. You will be known in the history books as a great American, and those in officialdom who abuse their power to harass you will be known in the history books simply as convicts. You call yourself "just a citizen" and there is truth in that, but it is important not to lose sight of the fact that the greatest of heroes have always been those who merely do their duty, but do it under extraordinary circumstances. You qualify every bit as much as anyone else ever has; you are "just a citizen" the same way America's Medal of Honor recipients are just citizens.

Thank you so much, Sibel. You are a true patriot. While born and reared in America, I do NOT assume “the enemy” is foreign. And I do not allow others, not even a Oval Office Occupant, to define my enemy.

I would just like to add my own thanks to Sibel from Canada. I have followed her story with great interest for about 3 years now, wondering when - or if - she may finally be given a suitable opportunity to present the details of what she knows without fear of judicial retribution or worse. Those details seem to hold the possibility to derail or disempower a vast & malevolent network of criminal & political malfeasance that presents a "clear & present danger" with few precedents in modern times. Her story & struggle to exercise her freedom of speech are not forgotten, & her perseverance is an inspiration to many, not only in America but worldwide. I hope that her long & trying saga is soon concluded to her complete satisfaction & that the persons responsible are brought to justice. Indeed, a great many lives may be saved by just such a conclusion to what is truly a tragic & Kafkaesqe journey. She deserves no less.

Sincerely, jim davies

Sibel if you ever read this I'd just like you to know that you are one of my personal heroines. I'd like to see you run for office like Colleen Rowley. If at all possible I'd move to where you were to vote for you. I love you Sibel for what you've done. SIBEL EDMONDS FOR PRESIDENT. Well, we can all dream right?

on the whole, it's quite evident that this is a powerful component of reform in money saving vouchers and coupons for government regulations. It is becoming increasingly clear that saving money and online savings play strongly into online betting discount vouchers and coupon codes. Furthermore, this useful resource for Paddy Power Casino free bet has made it easier to save money and beat the recession with vouchers and coupons. Added to this is an important element of free casino and poker gambling with regard to the money saving relevancy of Paddy Power Poker, which is why it is crucial that discount vouchers and coupon codes will help beat the recession for paddy power free bets.

I hate the negative connotation whistle blowing conveys - makes all too it easy for corruption to continue.
