Sibel Edmonds: Part 2




 
 
Bookmark and Share Share
 

Yesterday, we heard the first part of our interview with Sibel Edmonds. She described growing up in Iran in Turkey, going to work for the FBI, witnessing serious misconduct among her co-workers, and discovering that senior State Department and Pentagon officials were seemingly involved in corruption and Turkish elements of the nuclear black market.

Sibel is a former FBI linguist and the founder of the National Security Whistleblower Coalition. It’s a group made of former employees of law enforcement, intelligence agencies and the military. They push for reforms of whistleblower protections and increased accountability for government agencies.

Sibel Edmonds spoke with Worldview producer Jonah Meadows. She begins by explaining what an FBI employee is supposed to do when she witnesses criminal activity on the job.
