Garvey's Ghost: Black Talk

More Axe

There's a Bob Marley collection where the song 'Small Axe" is accompanied by a track "More Axe." I just read a story that definitely qualifies as "more axe." The Indepepended UK quotes one Sibel Edmonds who worked as a translator for the FBI:

quote:
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".


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".

Heads must roll.
