A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie".

FULL STORY

[TOAD6147]

Sibel Edmonds said she spent more than three hours in a closed session with the commission's investigators providing information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place. The Bush administration, meanwhile, has sought to silence her and has obtained a gagging order from a court by citing the rarely used "state secrets privilege".

She told The Independent yesterday: "I gave [the commission] details of specific investigation files, the specific dates, specific target information, specific managers in charge of the investigation. I gave them everything so that they could go back and follow up. This is not hearsay. These are things that are documented. These things can be established very easily."

She added: "There was general information about the time-frame, about methods to be used * but not specifically about how they would be used * and about people being in place and who was ordering these sorts of terror attacks. There were other cities that were mentioned. Major cities * with skyscrapers."
------------
Mrs Edmonds said that by using the word "we", Ms Rice told an "outrageous lie". She said: "Rice says 'we' not 'I'. That would include all people from the FBI, the CIA and DIA [Defence Intelligence Agency]. I am saying that is impossible."

It is impossible at this stage to verify Mrs Edmonds' claims. However, some senior US senators testified to her credibility in 2002 when she went public with separate allegations relating to alleged incompetence and corruption within the FBI's translation department.

Interesting. It's a wonder she is still alive. But, then, accidents do happen...

Every time I see anyone from this administration's lips move, I know they're probably telling "an outrageous lie." Colin Powell may be exempt from this generality, but he's on a slippery slope.

Mysterious deaths were the Clinton administration and Whitewater if I remember right. Ever notice in this administration everyone are liars, nobody can be wrong or miss-speak, nope that cant happen.

Bush lied, couldnt have been wrong, crap never left Iraq either, LIES!

Rice lied, couldnt have used we at the wrong time, no way, she obviously knew what every investigative body knew at every level and when, LIES!

[MTAtech]

If it was wrong or miss-speaking, they have an obligation to say 'oops, I was wrong." When they repeat the same misinformation, it's a lie.

The top dogs in this administration are incapable of admitting they were ever wrong. Have you ever heard them apologize?
