Siebel Edwards Knows Too Much For Bush & Co:

"A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Tuesday by a whistle-blower who alleged security lapses in the FBI's translator program, ruling that her claims might expose government secrets that could damage national security.

U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said he was satisfied with claims by Attorney General John Ashcroft and a senior FBI official that the civil lawsuit by Sibel Edmonds could expose intelligence-gathering methods and disrupt diplomatic relations with foreign governments.

The judge said he couldn't explain further because his explanation itself would expose sensitive secrets."

Edwards points out that:

(a) the judge never heard her side of the story, despite meeting twice with government lawyers, and

(b) the judge was appointed by George W. Bush.

Edwards plans to appeal the ruling. Once again you have to wonder - what are Bush & Co so afraid of???
