Tip-off thwarted nuclear spy ring probe - Times Online

AN investigation into the illicit sale of American nuclear secrets was compromised by a senior official in the State Department, a former FBI employee has claimed. The official is said to have tipped off a foreign contact about a bogus CIA company used to investigate the sale of nuclear secrets. The firm, Brewster Jennings & Associates, was a front for Valerie Plame, the former CIA agent. Her public outing two years later in 2003 by White House officials became a cause célèbre. The claims that a State Department official blew the investigation into a nuclear smuggling ring have been made by Sibel Edmonds, 38, a former Turkish language translator in the FBI’s Washington field office. ....Among the buyers were Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s intelligence agency, which was working with Abdul Qadeer Khan, the “father of the Islamic bomb”, who in turn was selling nuclear technology to rogue states such as Libya.

This sounds like interesting news, especially since it even ties in Libya (haven't herad much about them lately).

Hmmm, so that's why they placed that Gag Order on Sibel Edmunds.


As usual, the Bush administration knows no bounds, it's lie, cheat, and steal until the very end.

Honestly, it's hard to determine if they are apt or inept at this sort of thing. They get caught, yet plenty of them get away. Some still even assume these are nice people.
