Sibel Edmonds had received 2006 Pen/Newman award.
Edmonds is described as a "heroine". Recent revelations are of bribery and blackmail of current and former U.S. Congress members and high-ranking State and Defense Department officials, and the theft and sale of nuclear secrets by agents of Turkey and Israel, as detailed in her sworn deposition in August, and remarkable AmCon cover-story interview which followed it late last month... Brief details here and here.
IMO: I had not been aware she had received that award. There is a lot of dirty work going on behind the scenes, clearly. We only have to think of the apparent continued cover-up by the US Govt and other interested parties of the Syrian involvement with Lockerbie, and the apparent use of AlMegrahi and his seemingly unlawful, unfair and corrupt trial by the US and UK authorities. "Private Eye" p29 for 2nd October discuss a few details of that alleged frame-up, still in force even under the Obama administration. It seems that many in Afghanistan prefer the Taliban to the US and the UK. I do not support the Taliban personally, in fact I would be using more drones and maybe taking some more advice from Joe Biden, but I do sympathise with such Afghans who must by now view the rather mickey-mouse appearance of the US and UK with some disrespect.
