VIDEO: Scenes From Outside the Stunning Deposition of FBI
Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds
The BRAD BLOG
By Brad Friedman on 8/9/2009
Thanks to VelvetRevolution.us [Disclosure: The BRAD BLOG is a
co-founder], here are some of the greatly condensed highlights from
outside the National Whistleblowers Center on Saturday in D.C., as FBI
translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds gave her long-awaited
under-oath deposition.
Long gagged under the "state secrets" privilege by the Bush
Administration, the Obama Administration's DoJ chose not to re-invoke
privilege, paving the way for this information to finally make it's
way on to the unclassified public record.
Selected public commentary from the attorneys, candidate David
Krikorian, and Edmonds, taken before, during breaks, and after the
testimony follows. For many many more details, quotes and information
about the information disclosed at the deposition, see our Live-Blog
coverage from Saturday here (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=7347).
(The video of the deposition itself is still forthcoming. Monday
earliest, so we're told, but no way of knowing anything for sure until
it's actually made available. There's some 5 or 6 hours of tape, as we
understand it. We hope the text transcript of the entire deposition
will also be made available to the public soon as well. Edmonds has
stated that she too shares both of those hopes. Until then, however,
please do review our coverage from yesterday, for the complete,
stunning details of what went on yesterday.)
UPDATE 8/10/09, 3:45am PT: Erik Larson, who was also among the
independent media outside the NWC on Saturday, has additional coverage
and lengthier video clips here

UPD ATE 8/10/09, 2:11pm PT: Quick update on current release status of
deposition video/transcript now here
