Obama and Torture
A 4,000 word cover story on FBI translator turned whistleblower Sibel Edmonds in The American Conservative to hit stands and web tomorrow, by former CIA agent Phil Giraldi.
FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds tells us exactly how Turkish intelligence have penetrated national secrets, suborned government officials, and blackmailed Congress. It’s going to be explosive.
IMO: Giraldi is distinctly right wing, which could certainly imply partiality but his reasonable enough comments are here in a brief article on "Making Torture Accountable". I think the information in the Edmonds story is likely to deserve being given value as far as the EU is concerned, at least. Maybe we will also find out whether Obama's actions may be better than those of his predecessors.
