Kill the Messenger: Sibel Edmonds

You can see the trailer to Sibel's new film over at her website - it looks great!

To help you out when you watch it, I've put together a list of the people who appear in the trailer in chronological order.


John M. Cole, Former Veteran Intelligence Operations Specialist, worked for 18 years in the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division as an Intelligence Operations specialist. One of his tasks at the FBI was to conduct risk assessment for FBI foreign born translators and analysts applicants before the bureau cleared them and granted them the required clearance to work for the bureau. Mr. Cole currently works as a senior counterintelligence analyst. Cole has first hand knowledge of Sibel's case (see VF)



David Rose (bio). David wrote the terrific article on Sibel for Vanity Fair. He is a key source for the movie because he is the only one who has spoken to people who know what’s on the FBI tapes of Hastert being bribed - this is what Rose is referring to when he says: "The people that I've talked to about these tapes are extremely nervous"




Joseph Trento is one of the top most credible investigative journalist in the nuclear black-market and proliferation areas. He was top CNN reporter on nuclear issues, and now is the director of an NGO on Nuclear education. He has had several best sellers about the CIA. (bio) - more here






Daniel Ellsberg is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national uproar in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, the US military's account of activities during the Vietnam War, to The New York Times. The release awakened the American people to how much they had been deceived by their own government about the war.

Bogdan Dzakovic: He is the top expert on FAA/TSA security. His job as leader of the Federal Aviation Adminstration’s “Red Team” was to penetrate airport security in simulated hijackings. His team succeeded 90% of the time- But his team’s reports were ignored and suppressed. Just after 9/11, the Red Team was shut down. (bio)




Steve Elson: he has twenty-two years military experience, primarily in Naval Special Warfare. He has nine years Federal Service with DEA/FAA, and one year with Local Law Enforcement in Undercover Narcotics. Mr. Elson specializes in Counterterrorism, Intelligence, and Security, both nationally and internationally, enhanced by a wide range of training and advanced studies in diverse topics relating to security, leadership, and intelligence. He holds a Masters Degree in National Security Affairs/Naval Intelligence with a focus on Terrorism. (bio)





Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Husband of Valerie Plame.

"In their judgement, it's time to change the United States from a Republic to an Empire"

and of course, the star of the show - Ms Sibel Edmonds.



Also, at the end of the trailer, there is a voice-over when the highway sign scene is being shown saying "The nuclear and the drugs are a global game. You have to look at the connection."
This is David Albright, Top US expert on Nuclear proliferation; Former UN inspector
He has written numerous assessments on secret nuclear weapons programs throughout the world. (bio)

Other people in the film include Sibel's husband, Matthew, Philip Giraldi, two lawyers from the ACLU, Ann Beeson and Ben Wizner, and a 'Deep Throat' - a recently retired high-level FBI official on counterespionage/ counterintelligence unit at the FBI HQ.

I've put up a poll over on the left hand side of this blog so that you can rate the trailer. Discuss in the comments.
