Brad,

You used to care about the troops. You posted the number of dead often and called for the end of the war. You covered Sheehan opften when she protested. Now that Obama is in the WH, you dont care anymore. Sheehan is protesting the war and your ignoring it.

"KABUL, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Four U.S. servicemen with the NATO-led force were killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, the alliance said, making 2009 the deadliest year for foreign troops since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001."

No coverage at all? You never cared about the troops, it was just a political vehical for you to prop up your agenda. You should be ashamed.

Smithy,

I'm not convinced that coverage equates caring. But I implore, consider the larger picture here. If one really cared for the troops, you'd never put them in harms way for political or commercial or selfish purposes.

Then consider the damage that's been done to this nation through all of the credible allegations made by Sibel. What Sibel has outlined is the very foundation of the process that has compromised American governance for years which allows the greatest fighting men on this planet to be placed in harms way for selfish purposes.

Sibel's cause, is freedom's cause. And it must be published. In full, and often. It is the story of the compromisng of the American government. And it is the very root cause of the horrific deaths of so many (too many) of America's finest.

And the media that has ignored it, thus far, must be publicly shamed into coverage.

Don't be too harsh on Brad or make assumptions about motive. And, please, don't underestimate the importance of the story at the top of this blog today.

Youtube not so good. What's the total file size in avi format?

Brad may I ask what are the source files of these five videos? Are the only copies the flash video the other site posted or is there a better source?

I think you can get the best size and quality by converting the videos to the mp4 format which is basically what most flash encoders do. Is it possible to post the video in the mp4 format since almost all computers can play mp4 videos?

You have Krikorian's affiliation wrong - he ran as an independent in the Ohio 2nd Congressional District, BUT he is a right-wing Libertarian/Republican.

Brad,
What is it about Turkey that makes most politicians just quiver in their boots? Why do you think the justice department just ignores all of this? What is so special about Turkey, a country that was founded upon the mass murder of others? Last, is it no surprise that all accused by Mrs Edmunds now work for the Turks in one capacity or another? Brad, keep up the good work in exposing these greedy traitors!

I saw this on ABC!!! (just kidding)

What is it about Turkey? Maybe that it's such a close ally of Israel?

I don't know about Grossman, but the intensity of the Zionism of both Wolfowitz and Feith is well attested.

Lysias - When I first read your comment, I thought you were perhaps off base. Turkey is 99% Muslim, but they are a comparitively very pro-Western entity when considered with other Muslim countries. Their government is the only (I think) government in the Islamic world which is secular (they are not an Islamic Republic, as countries like Egypt claim to be *claim being on use of the word Republic*) , though there is growing opposition amongst proponents of theocracy. They are NATO members, and have recently been admitted to the EU.

So I did a quick Google "turkey israel alliance" and whaddya know? There it is. Very astute.

I'm reading the transcript, not watching the video (personal preference, gives me the time to think better about what is being said.) Why is Fein objecting to everything? His objections seem pretty unfounded, regardless of his explanations. I find it highly amusing that Mr. Marino, who reads as a very composed and reasonable figure, just continues on. Was there no one available to rule on any objections? How does that work in a deposition?

starting on page 48 of sibel's testimony...hassert took large sums of money for his campaign and for personal use

brad,call lisa madigan and ask why she has not followed up these accusations...same question of fitzgerald

Having watched these videos yesterday, a few observations worth noting:

1) Towards the end Sibel notes that she's writing a book titled "Shoot the Messenger" which should be published sometime by the end of 2010. This is towards the end of her testimony.
2) She notes at one point that Dennis Hastert was "known" to have had "immoral activities" (or a similar term) going on in his DC Townhouse that was supposed to be used as an "office", which seemed to imply that might have also been a source of blackmail, etc. like what the congresswoman had.
3) Throughout her testimony she points a heavy finger at Rand Corporation being in the middle of a lot of the problem areas, especially the Grossman incidents. Hadn't heard her do that outside of these proceedings.

It would be interesting to see if Krikorian shows up at a place he reserved to have a debate with Schmidt on health care on September 2nd. If Schmidt is a no show like the article claims she might be , then perhaps that might be an opportunity to ask Krikorian follow up questions on what was in this testimony, and if the M$M has reporters there to cover him giving a speech and having a Q/A session, give this issue some more visibility.
3)

BTW, was that "Dan Marino" we were hearing through this deposition? I half expected the camera to turn and us looking at a former Miami Dolphin QB's face!

A lot of video to digest here... Gonna take a while to view it all.

Is this hosted anywhere else?

I'm thinking it really should have as wide a distribution as is physically possible.

Both, to disseminate rapidly and to make it unfeasible to quash.

Brad:

As always thank you for all you do.

Sibel

Why hasn't Antiwar.com linked to any of the news articles about Sibel and the Krikorian case?
I have seen nothing whatsover on Antiwar's home page.
There have been numerous news articles, such as one yesterday or today in a Dayton Ohio paper, but Antiwar seemingly wants nothing to do with any of them. Someone who just goes to the Antiwar home page would have no idea of what is happening with Sibel. Gee, I wonder why.
Any idea, Brad?

Good question, Dave. Lemme drop them a note and see if I can learn anything. They've been *very* good about covering Sibel's case over the years...

Just FYI David, I just noticed that Scott Horton now has a quick squib on it here:
http://www.antiwar.com/b.../sibel-edmonds-testimony
...which points over to our coverage.

Don't know if he posted that before or after I sent him a quick note just now (following your suggestion). Glad he's got something up on it, in either case. Looks like it's the most recent post, so he may just now have run it. Go kick it!

As a lawyer, I was more taken with how inept Fein's objections were, not to mention the failures to object when Marino was eliciting speculative responses. My impression is that it's been a long time since Fein tried a case.

More fundamentally, why is Schmidt using a Turkish lobby lawyer to deny that she is beholden to the Turkish lobby? Shouldn't she just arrange for a few contributors to fund her legal expenses? I'm sure she would be pleased to accept funds from somebody, anybody, just not Turk PACs.

Joe Blow, Tunga is reminded of the famous line from the fictional film Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does."

I need to remind you guys that what used to be stupid is now something they just do because they can... because no one who can do anything about it will call them out on it. So that sort of puts the burden of stupid on those who let them them get away with this stuff.... That would be us.

Joe Blow @20 said:

Very good point, JB. While it's been pointed out to me by others that it's inappropriate for him to represent, because he could be called as a witness, the fact that it's just outright stupid, as you note above, is very good. And dang near fits on a bumper sticker. Well done!

For some reason part 3 of the video is no longer working.

Sibel:

Thank you.

Turkey is merely a division of "Israel, Inc." - a surrogate through which Israel carries out its "agenda." It's time to perceive these actors not as countries, but as crime syndicates.

Their agenda includes controlling Congress and the media in the United States via any means necessary. I have been saying for years that a higher percentage of US Congressman and Senators are being blackmailed than are not. The means to accomplish this lies in Israel's wiretapping capabilities within the US - with ALL forms of communication inside the US, even inside the White House, captured in Tel Aviv.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/blackmail.html

When a foreign country (crime syndicate) knows virtually ALL of our secrets, they can change our missile targeting and launch our missiles, thereby enabling nuclear blackmail. When GHW Bush included Mossad in the 9/11 plan, he opened the US up to a doublecross, which Israel has happily obliged. Israel went from co-conspirator to ruler of the world, by virtue of the evidence they control over the would-be leaders of the New World Order. David Rockefeller (Cheney, GHW, Rumsfeld, Lay etc.) was double-crossed by Israel.

What was Ronald Lauder's interest in privatizing Stewart Air Force Base and why did Flights 11 and 175 appear to pass directly over it on 9/11?

Foreign software, some of it made by Israeli military intelligence, loaded onto U.S. government and military computers would facilitate foreign hackers being able to change the data and manipulate the aircraft from abroad.

The key suspects of being behind such computer treachery would be Israeli Mossad-sponsored software companies or a "cut-out" companies such as PTECH of Quincy, Massachusetts.

MITRE Corp. is another firm that is in the position to have complete access to the most sensitive computers in the U.S. Air Force.

As risk analyst Indira Singh has testified at 9-11 events, PTECH and MITRE worked on the computer systems of the FAA and NORAD during the year prior to 9-11. Their work with these agencies dealt with the inter-operability of their computer systems in an emergency.

Did the software mask the landing of two aircraft at Stewart and the takeoff of two replacement aircraft? Revealing the entire truth of 9/11 frees the citizens of the US from the blackmail its coup leaders presently suffer under. How do you think it came to pass that US Taxpayers were forced at gunpoint to surrender trillions to the banksters and their overlords? Where are the gold reserves of the United States?

All roads lead through Turkey to Israel.

The only way to regain control from Israel is to reveal the entire truth and imprison the tens-of-thousands of guilty co-conspirators who are subject to blackmail, thereby rendering that leverage worthless.

The money these leaches have sucked from their "host" (US Taxpayers) needs to be recovered.

Can we please have these videos posted on You Tube for maximum exposure?

Thank you Brad.

Thanks Brad.

My guess is that Turkish Lobby wanted its lawyer to cross Edmonds, rather than some bumpkin who might focus "merely" on the charges before the Commission. What was striking to me was that Fein's examination was ineffective. Baby lawyer ineffective. I think that is because he knew that if he probed the basis for her testimony, he would add more facts to the record that would harm his corrupt real client, the Tukish lobby.

Not exploring the basis of Edmond'sknowledge and beliefs was not necessarily in Schmidt's interests, though. It would have been in Schmidt's interests to probe, because what does it matter to her what the lobby did or did not do 7 years before she became a member?

Schmidt is just a prop.

Even if she 'wins' the case, she has confirmed that she is a creature of a foreign lobby, in addition to all the others who pay her. I am surprised she sold her birthright so cheaply. Maybe there's the lifetime use of a villa in Izmir. Maybe she figures she will do some post-Congressional lobbying for them. And by the way, coldn't the Turks find someone more senior than a third termer?

I would not want to be that tiny nano atom, Bruce Fein's conscience. On the one hand he bills himself as a Constitutionalist and a patriot. Yet, he is a lawyer for an organization about whom there is at least probable cause to investigate for crimes against the United States including treason.

I see that Jean Schmidt is now an official Armenian Genocide denier, not just someone who thinks it bad manners to point out what happened.

I wonder if Fein was hooked.

That could also explain his lackluster performance. For example, he interrogates Edmonds about something wholly irrelevant; whether she was aware that the OEC would not enforce the subpena. Hardly matters. Has nothing to do with jurisdiction. A subpena is an order of the Commission that someone appear. If that someone volunteers, the proceedings are brought under the jurisdiction of the Commission.

Even though the hand in the video was annoying at times, it looks to me like some has to do some due dilligence to find out more about what was said there about the corruption, and treason. Even if it isn't related to the original x vs. y ohio election case.

Brad,
In the article above it mentions the unknown female Congresswoman is Democrat however Sibel's testimony does not indicate that point. Is it possible to get a clarification?

Any who care to explore how the dots connect is invited to help unravel the world's largest conspiracy. The alleged "Theorists" have been proven correct:

http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/3820

http://plungerspeaks.blogspot.com/

“Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

Michael Rivero

I would like to say "beautifully done" Sibel!
And I would like to apologize for the unprofessional dips that can not READ your name correctly or remember from hour to hour how to say it correctly.
Keep up the good work!

This woman is a nut case.

Thanks for testifying, Sibel. I'm glad an opportunity came up. And thanks for posting, Brad. Now, will somebody please cover this in a larger media? It makes me think of the tree falling in the forest but no one hearing it. Did it really make a sound?

Sue @ 28 asked:

I'd have to go back through the depo transcript to find where (and if) she mentioned that she was a Dem during the testimony, but Sibel has, in fact, CONFIRMED with me that the still-unnamed Congresswoman in question is definitely a Democrat.

Just checked it, and it seems to be working fine over here. Perhaps refresh the browser to see if that helps??

I like how during the Cross, the lawyer creates a false dichotomy of "Turkish Government" meaning either "rogue elements" or "approved by prime minister", etc.

The President/Prime Minister is not aware of the activities of every agent in clandestine operations, but that doesn't mean those agents are "rogue". Duh.

No one could ever know absolutely what the characteristics of a transaction are, primarily because those involved would never admit to it, and then politics happens (scape goating, etc).

I'm glad Sibel didn't let this hack paint her into that corner!

what an incredibly brave patriot...I hope she has a safe house and big bodyguards..I would think she has made alot of bad people angry...god speed sibel..stay safe..our country needs you...

I don't have time to watch all of these videos, but from what I did watch, I'm wondering why you bothered to post this. Most of her "revelations" about Turkey are common knowledge to anyone with any knowledge of Turkey's activities in Central Asia and our policies relating to Turkey and Kurdistan in the course of the Iraq War.

I guess that revealing obvious things to people who are incredibly uninformed seems revelatory, but the proper reaction to these videos ought to be a big shrug and saying "so?".

Really? It's an "obvious thing" that current and former members of Congress are taking bribes and are being blackmailed?! Phew. That our highest-ranking officials are selling off our nuclear secrets to our enemies? Also obvious?

Glad to hear it! Since Sibel suggests it's been going on for at least ten years or so, the indictments for these "obvious things" should be coming down any day now, right?

Thanks for the enlightening good news, Dave Nalle! How could the U.S. survive without courageous and helpful patriots such as yourself?! Sean H. said I should tell you you're a great American!

BTW, Dave, are you the same "Dave Nalle" who is Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus and who used to work for the National Republican Senatorial Committee?

If so, and you've got such an inside track in the Republican Party, can you ask them when they'll be calling for investigations/prosecutions of folks like Dennis Hastert, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Marc Grossman, Douglas Feith and Paul Wolfowitz into their "obvious" crimes as referenced in Sibel's testimony?

As a libertarian leaning Republican, I'd think you'd be all for defending the Constitution and the country and such. So your help in pointing out the "obvious" to your comrades in the Republican Party would be much appreciated, amigo.

Thanks!

Brad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Schakowsky

I am aware Wayne Madsen report indicates Jan Schakowsky is the unnamed female. They do have four children per Sibel's testimony so this is possibility. One point Wikipedia points out: In August 2005, Creamer who is Schakowsky's husband pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid $2.3 million. Why did no one inquire about source of repayment funds this is no small amount. At the very least a red flag in my humble opinion.

Thank you Sibel and God Bless.

Sibel Edmonds:
You rock! Thank you so much for your integrity, your intelligence, your humor and your persistence.

Nothing knew, everybody knows that Turkey is able to blackmail and „buy“ politicians ,” historians” and pay “good money” in order to get pro Turkish „reports and strategic analyzes“

We can only hope that in White House and Senate there are at least a couple patriotic Americans who are willing to show Turkey and Türkish Lobby the red line!

So you wanna know what the armenian genocide bill has to do with anything ...

http://www.quislaw.com/i...aresomewherebutwhere.cfm

The bill originally included a provision that would require insurance companies, most notably New York Life Insurance, Equitable Life of New York (now named AXA Advisors) and French Union-Vie, to provide a list of Armenian clients and their policies. That element was dropped from SB 1915 because of legal complications, Poochigian said.
Bey, architect of the Armenian Genocide, told Morgenthau that he wanted "American life insurance companies to send us a complete list of their Armenian policyholders." "They are practically all dead now and have left no heirs to collect the money," Bey said. "The government is the beneficiary now." A flabbergasted Morgenthau lost his temper, told Bey he would get no such list and then stormed out the room. The Turkish state never collected the list or the money. Nor did anyone else. Since then, the details of each policy --- the amount of benefits, the names of beneficiaries --- have remained a mystery. The search for the list goes on today. Those involved in the class-action suit seek it."

Lawyers for the plaintiffs say the policies are worth more than $3 billion.

No thanks for editing an excellent blog

O.K.
Do you have a transcript of the testimony from a source that Wikipedia would consider "reliable," or can you find a way to upload it to Wiki Commons so that someone else can quote it? Wikipedia is somewhat controlled by CIA stooges, but we can try.

well, I finally listened to all five hours… this is definitely the kind of story that needs a book to explain – or a 3-part movie series. This is as intricate as it gets – at the highest levels and across the federal government.

I will say this much: she is absolutely correct that we cannot allow these people who accepted these bribes to keep walking among us. They present an ongoing clear and present danger to our security as a nation.

btw, on Saturday August 29, at 1 am Eastern, videos 1 & 2 above are not functional. I found the full video deposition at this link.

despite that Volaar says "all 55 minutes" - it's actually more than five hours worth.

keep up the good work, Brad, et al.

I find it _amazing_ that Fein doesn't understand that if someone shows up to an "unenforceable subpoena", they are still "showing up". He is correct, she did not "have to", she wasn't "compelled" to, she CHOSE to, under a "charity" consignment.

I only got into the first few minutes, but if that Fein guy does that kind of broken-brained arguing the entire time, he's gonna really piss me off.

"I object! she showed up on her own accord when she didn't have to! You're making it sound like someone told her they wanted her to be here even though no one told her she had to! not FAIR!!".

Guess they _really_ didn't want this info out there, huh? I guess he's trying to lay a foundation of saying "you only get to break a gag order under subpeona if you're compelled to comply with it, not if you chose to comply with it!"... which, of course, is most likely bullshit. I'd have to see the rules on gag orders, but I'd guess that if she could go to prison for this, she'd not have done it seeing as how she avoided breaking the gag order all this time otherwise.

Loopholes.. good for getting the truth out, too

" What is it about Turkey? Maybe that it's such a close ally of Israel?"
TURKEY is THE LARGEST standing Army NATO force in the WORLD.
THE MOST READY TROOPS IN ALL OF NATO. It is also the only muslim "kinda democracy" (really supposed to be a lawful or constitutional republic - but the brainwashing is so complete even national neocons and rethugs say democracy now agreeing with the communistic democratics).
Anyway, great 5 clips, watched them and have followed this case for years before even the truthers knew her name.
People should note the genocide declaration was used by one party here to thwart war plans in a political goal move, and by golly that worked - causing loss of amny American lives in Iraq as well as Iraqi citizen lives and may have been a major contributor to many post shock and awe problems. I suppose to a degree the N Iraqi Kurds might be thankful in some ways.
Considering this is a single issue with a single foreign nation, one can only begin to imagine the IMMENSE CORRUPTION occurring with another 190+ nations.
Hillary's Chinese $200 bundling came to mind, as well as Obama's $200 megaa middle east repeater credit card contributions. I'm certain the republicans had similar shenanigans or some other scam going.
Anyway, with the counter intel and espionage, we all should consider that SOMETIMES, even as Sibel points out in a few instances in the clips - there ARE FAKE front companies and OUR INTEL AGENTS playing along to scoop and capture the foreign agents in OUR TRAPS.
I find it beyond difficult to know which is or is not a sting or entrapment OP and which is not.
Considering our government not that long ago "legalized through the courts" any sort of sting operation they so desire to pull on our citizens ( like fake hookers, fake 14 year old internet girl hussies - etc - fake "missile salesmen" - fake "would be terrorists encouraging or infiltrating 'cells' " here on our soil...I DID WONDER if Sibel was merely targeted to check her loyalty... although considering other items of corruption I do reject that idea in this case.
Anyway, great post - and don't expect anything different with the UN parked here, our US dollar as the "world currency", the english languauge the main "other language of the world" and our post WW2 posture - and then the "single superpower" (not really true but widely accepted) along with our "world management" economy. That sort of POSITION leads to things like foreign nations BRIBING US congresscritters for their vote on a "genocide resolution"...it's ALMOST PATHETIC - or IS, once one thinks about it.
Don't forget the "joining the EU" factor for Turkey and UN influence with fancy "statement paperwork" that apparently makes the elites diapers bunch up and need to be changed more often between trading other people's giant bags of suckers and luchies.

A better name for your site appears in the caption already "The Brad Log", then you know when to flush.

I very recently completed reading the transcript of Ms. Edmonds.
Of many interesting statements she provided in her testimony, one reference that particularly stuck out to me.
That being the time frame involving the allegation of Roy Blunt receiving bribes in the years 1997-2001.
Between 1998 and 2001 ,Blunt had an aide named Trevor Blackann who worked for him. Blackann was a close asssociate of Jack Abramoff. Blackann's wife had worked for DeLay, incidentally.
Blackann left Blunt's office in 2001 to become an aide to another Missouri Senator named Kit Bond. Bond is not mentioned in the Edmonds deposition,however. [The testimony seems to center on the years of 1997-2001.]
Now Blackann has been indicted and plead guilty to accepting bribery last November 2008, while working as an aide at Bond's office.
Bond has decided not to run for office again.
It would be interesting to backtrack activity and donations to Blunt in the years of 1997-2001, especially as relating to Abramoff, and Turkish related interests.

Clarification: Blackann plead guilty last November ,2008 for activity during his tenure with Bond,which was 2002-2005.

Is it something I said,or more like somethSibel said?

THIS is incredible:

BBC NEWS | Europe | Turkey and Armenia set for tiesAug 31, 2009 ...
Turkey and its neighbour Armenia have agreed to hold talks on establishing diplomatic ties after decades of bitter mistrust on both sides. ...
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8230809.stm - 1 hour ago - Similar

Bruce Fink,the turkish lawyer, embaresses the legal profession and the over the counter law school he attended.Most decent lawyers wont represent unworthy clients,only the shysters do.

This hearing, especially after Bruce Fein's cross examination, further highlights the depth of Turkish (government or otherwise) involvement in sensitive areas of US national security.

Mr Fein's attempt to brush aside as "rogue elements", to absolve the Turkish government from possible involvement in such illicit activities as stealing US military secrets and bribing high level US officials does not hold water.

Mr. Fein also fell in his own trap when he mentioned Mr. Bernard Lewis. Sibel described in clear language what she thought of Mr. Lewis, perhaps more than Mr. Fein had wished. Bernard Lewis's agenda-driven scholarship was unmasked even more in these hearings. It is not surprising to see corrupt officials within the Bush's administration appoint Bernard Lewis as the President's guru on the historiography of the Middle and Far East.

Mr. Fein reputedly is an expert on US constitutional law. But even he struggles to defend an indefensible patron as the Turkish government. His contributions in Washington Post on various Armenian issues make him look like a hack.

It is sad, and very disconcerting, to hear about such levels of corruption within in the "Representative" and "Diplomatic" arenas that we usually associate with third-world countries.

Thank you Sibel for your integrity and courage, and Brad for providing the forum.

[ed note: Comment deleted. Banned commenter, using another name. --99]

the name of the israeli interest group was covered up...

im sorry but im watching this and i cant help it but sibel is hot as hell. other than that very compelling interview.

If this gal is FOR REAL and not some kind of manufactured 'agent provocateur' this country is in SERIOUS TROUBLE. The argument that there are games inside of games, wrapped in riddles can not justify bribery and treason.

If members of Congress and some government officials are willing to sell us out to the Turkish for a genocide vote, and help proliferate nuclear technology to “Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Libya and others”…what else have Congress and other government officials been willing to give away to the Israelis (AIPAC), the Brits or any of our other allies?

Also, who in the Pentagon is selling out America’s interests?

And, why is the FBI doing nothing to protect Americans from corrupt and treasonous government officials?

And, oh yeah, why is everyone so hot and bothered by what the Iranians are trying to accomplish, since Bush made it clear that the only countries we will NOT invade or attack are those with a nuclear arsenal. Who can rightfully blame the Iranians for wanting some “security” against the American Govt. and their military might?

Looking back at US Foriegn Policy for the past 50+ years, it seems that we are our own worst enemy!

Brad-

So after hearing you on the Mike Malloy show last night, my curiosity was piqued, so I came here to your website. I watched the videos (thanks for sharing) and did some searching on-line. There is a great deal of controversy as to who the "Mystery Congresswoman" is over on the Cannonfire blog. There is speculation that that it is Rep. Jane Harman (and believe me I AM NO FAN - go Marcy!), but it just can't be because Harman was never part of the 106th congress (when the resolution came before congress). I tried to post this there, but can't see my posting for some reason - so it's probably better to post it here anyhow.

FYI, my suspicion as to who the woman in question is: Rep. Judy Biggert [R] (IL-13).

Here is how I came to my conclusion:

1) {Sibel said this woman was in congress now, as of her testimony on the video - Aug, 8, 2009.}
I went to "Women of Congress" to see all the women who are in congress today:
[93 women House/Senate]

2) {This woman had to be in congress during Sibel's employment time with the FBI.}
So, I then went to "Open Congress" to see the records of those 93 women to see who was also in the 106th Congress:
[50 women House/Senate]
http://www.opencongress....g/people/representatives

3) {Sibel said the woman had 4 children.}
I then went to "Contact the Congress" to get the bios of those 50 women to see which of those women had 4 children:
[5 women all in the House]
-Rep. Shelley Berkley [D] (NV-01)
-Rep. Judy Biggert [R] (IL-13)
-Rep. Mary Bono [R] (CA-45)
-Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard [D] (CA-34)
-Rep. Lynn Woolsey [D] (CA-06)

4) I then did a Google search for "Armenian Genocide Resolution" + 2001. What I found was, before there was H.Res.596, there was another resolution H.Res.398. What I also came across was a press release from "The Armenian National Committee of America" (ANCA) which talked specifically about this bill being strongly opposed by both Reps. Dan Burton [R-IN] & Tom Lantos [D-CA].
{If Sibel was talking so much about Burton & Lantos, well then this might be the resolution she was talking about.}

5) I then went to THOMAS - Library of Congress, and looked up 106th Congress, H.Res.398 and looked at all the Co-sponsors of the bill to see if any of the 5 women above were listed:
[4 were co-sponsors, there was only 1 name missing - Rep. Judy Biggert (R-IL-13)]

6) Now if you also think about it, Sibel talked a great deal about Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL-14). Hastert & Biggert's districts were right next to each other. And if you look at ANCA's report card on her it shows all of Biggert's positions on Armenian Genocide.

So, that is how I came to my conclusion that the "mystery congresswoman" is Rep. Judy Biggert [R] (IL-13). Since you are covering this story, I thought you might find my research useful.

That said, thank you for posting this, and please thank Sibel for being so brave!

There is only one Answer to the problem. Sue Bush and his Department of Justice. They are both complicit in the Criminal Act of planning to Blow up the Twin Towers and other Buildings on 11 September.

As very wise person stated the obvious a long time ago.. "The Courts are CORRUPT"

Dr "Frankenstein" Bush must have released Hastert from his handcuffs for too long.... Remember that photo of them wearing lab coats at some plant or other.

Bruce Fein was being a real asshole.

I had actually come to respect Fein after seeing him on numerous programs voicing his concerns about the activities of the Bush administration over the last eight years
