60 Minutes heads up: Sibel Edmonds finally on

[Bluebear]

Now EDT

1. FBI had unqualified translators in Gitmo!!!

OMG - these fucks can't hit their head with a hat.

[aquart]

2. Are they going to mention......

The purging of gay Arabic translators?

Anybody gonna bring up that treasonous bit of bigotry?

[R3dD0g]

3. Talking about fake translations and

being threatened.

Nobody in the FBI wanted to hear it.

[libbygurl]

5. Odd, though-not mentioned in story is reason why Edmonds was told to...

...delay translations or not do them altogether. Basic theme is ineffectiveness and disorganization of FBI, usual stuff.

Anyone else sense this, too?

[R3dD0g]

6. At the start of the interview

they said several times that the reason for delay was to present an image of a group overworked and snowed under with work so as to be able to press for a bigger budget and more staff.

7. Thanks, but was that the real reason? Sounds more inocuous than...

...what I'd been led to believe after having followed the Edmonds story a bit.

[R3dD0g]

10. I don't know. Sounds plausible to me.

All bureaucracies want to increase their budget & staff. The fact that lives are endangered is more outrageous than a middling bureaucracy dragging their feet on rebuilding roads or whatnot.

4. question IS, is it the rerun, or the new one?

[R3dD0g]

8. I don't know.

I'm not a 60 Min regular, too lazy to get up and get the remote and switch to Fox for Simpsons reruns.

Fox rules on Sunday nights. But, Dead Like Me and The 4400 are my Sunday shows now. Can hardly wait for Deadwood to restart.

9. it's not a rerun, as they never aired it

due to RWR's timely demise. They didn't update the report to include the fact that her case was thrown out of court due to archaic "state secrecy" acts (aka-shelve everything for 30 years).

Was frustrating to listen to after reading her most recent letter to the 9/11 commission. But I guess some exposure is good exposure.
