Funny how there isn't a word of this in the US press?... So much for "free press" in America - they're no more that a bunch of government lackeys!

I hope to God these women are being careful. These corrupt elites usually find a way to silence their enemies...

Kevin Mitchell, Vancouver Island, Canada

I want to know the name of this State Department official.

Ken, Seattle, WA, USA

Thank you so much for continuing to report on this. You can be the free press we don't have in the states. Keep up this excellent work and keep the Sibel Edmonds story in the spotlight. Added pressure can only help.

Michael Monk, Raleigh, N.C., USA

Keep up the good work.

You are breaking new ground here. I hope that the series continues. There's so much more to this story - keep digging.

Luke Ryland, Melbourne, Australia

Thank you for your excellent reporting, please keep it up!

Great article. Couple of minor points:

1. Joe Wilson's report presented evidence for Bush's claims rather than refuting them.

2. Richard Armitage (State Department) was the original "outer" of Plame.

Shine your lights directly upon those who, regardless the consequences, seek to tell the truth, while also shining them on those who violate scared trusts...but shine them most intently on those elected/appointed US officials who have completely and undeniably sold their very empty souls....for this specific purpose, it's doubtful a sufficient number of lights exist.
As an extremely concerned American, I very much appreciate your efforts to uncover the truth and expose the frauds...perhaps some of your colleagues from "across the pond" will take note?

Umm, it was Marc Grossman that outed Brewster-Jennings.

And where is Marc Grossman today???

Keep up the fantastic display of journalism and do not let go. The American "news" media is a disgrace and nothing more than a modern-day Izvestia or Pravda of the Soviet era, spewing propaganda and brainwashing Joe Sixpack with images of Britney and nothing-else-matters-wall-to-wall election coverage.

You stay on this story! And, when this is over, you'll have my profound gratitude.

If the Jericho scenario ever happens it will be the US Gov,s fault.

Occupied America needs help from the Allies.

GL40 : How did she know about these things? She 'heard evidence'?

She was translating telecommunications intercepts, she heard them in their own words. If she were lying about this, the people she is naming would be suing the pants off her, not stamping "state secrets privilege" on the case and refusing to let it be heard by a judge even in closed court sessions.

It's pretty sad that Americans have to turn to foriegn media outlets to read something as damning as thing. Makes me wonder what ese our media outlets are ignoring.

Jeremy, Beaumont, Mississippi, USA

Please continue to follow this story. The ''drive by American media'' doesn't have the backbone to do it. I've not read or heard a single word other than a small blurb in the American media. These traitors need to be exposed and punished . It is clear the only way they will ever be brought to justice is by keeping the American informed.

Jay, Dixie, U.S. , S.C.

To GL40 in London, I agree that Israel's involvement is not logical. To your asking about the evidence, you obviously have not followed the Edmons case. When she sued for wrongful dismissal and it looked like these crimes were going to see the light of day, John Ashcroft shut down the case under a seldom used "interests of national security" statute. Of course Jack Nicholson was right."You can't handle the truth."

sc, Agoura Hills,

Thanks so much for your continuing coverage of this vital national security issue! If it wasn't for you keeping light on this subject, we'd have a total media blackout over here in the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave."

Cheers!

D.M. Slaughter, Los Angeles, CA

Senator McCarthy was right,bless his soul, we need one like him now to clean up the mess.

Hans Schneider, Montreal, Que.Canada

Keep digging. Maybe you will help put some traitors to America in prison.

MJB, Indianapolis, USA

So now any disgruntled employee can say what he/she wants and claims of conspiracy are aired. Sibel Edmonds 'heard evidence' of nefarious activities. Evidence in court? Tittle tattle? We are not told.

Are we really expected to believe that Israel assisted people from countries such as Libya and Pakistan to obtain nuclear secrets? Have you no shame?

RichardM: why aren't you condemning the pro-Turkish lobby as well as the pro-israeli one? Hmm....

GL40, London,

Yes,.. Thank You for bringing this issue to the forefront. These criminals, traitors , and treasonous spy/thieves seeking self enrichments must be exposed. The elite and "Powers to Be" here in America get the white glove treatment no matter what crimes they perpetrate and the media here gives them a free pass.

Again - thank you for the investigative reports and exposing the truth of this criminal conduct. The American media has certainly short changed us - to the benefit of the filthy rich and powerful avaricious warmongers and their fascist military industrial killing machine.

Ararat, Falmouth, Maine - USA

The US government (and therefore the US mainstream media) have been trying to "dissappear" the Sibel Edmonds case. Her allegations may resolve many contradictions in US foreign poilcy under the Bush Administration. Keep digging.

Kramer, Chicago, USA

From behind the iron curtain of information blockout here in the U.S., it's gratifying to know that the corporate media hasn't taken over the entire world yet. This story banned in the U.S., as is all real investigative journalism. Because we no longer have a genuine press in the US, we have a government of war criminals in power, and an "opposition" party that aids and abets.

Jeff N, Loa Angeles, CA

..

If we ever needed proof regarding the power of the pro-Israeli Lobby in America, all we have to do is observe the silence and indifference to this story in the Major US Media, in the halls of Congress, and in the offices of the Executive Branch. Of course on 22 January, Mr. Bush signed a law allowing the US to sell nuclear secrets to Turkey. So, in response to this story, I assume his administration is either covering up the scandal or openly participating in it. Think about the beauty of this setup. Sell nuclear secrets to country X. Terrify the public with the ominous threat that country X will share nuclear weapons with terrorist. Attack country X to keep the "military industrial complex" awash in money. Finally, proclaim yourself heroes for having dealt with country X.

Congratulations on you excellent work to follow the leads of a new, Watergate-like affair that could shook the Establisment of the United States in the election year. This affair has more leads, also to the criminal underworld in Turkey, Russia and the Arab states, and also to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
The very fact that high-positioned US officials allegedly participated in criminal nuclear proliferation and then in the cover-up of the activities that had involved the intelligence services of Turkey, Pakistan and Israel is an outrage and must be fully examined.

As an American working in Europe, I thank you very much for have the integrity and courage to investigate and expose this affair. I echo the comments of others, that it is a tragedy and shame that US journalism has neither the integrity nor the courage to even mention what you have exposed.

Floyd Rudmin, Tromsø, Norway

We need the help of the international media to save the America we once believed in. Thank you and please keep investigating & exposing the deceptions.

VFP, Washington, DC

great work, folks... you're putting the comatose u.s. news media to shame and are succeeding at putting the house of cards built by the criminals populating the u.s. government in the midst of a well-earned wind tunnel...

Thank you "Times" for covering this story. Many of us in the states have tried to get this information into the press and onto the agendas of our congresspeople--to no avail. This story has so many twists and turns, and clearly places our country and leadership in a very bad light. However, many of us welcome the facts, which can only come through pressure to investigate. Getting coverage (and hopefully pressure) from your side of the Atlantic is very helpful. Please keep up the excellent reporting.

Danno, Chicago, IL

You guys are doing a great investigative work here; please keep it up. Thank You.

SSP, Virginia, USA

As an American living in Australia, I'm amazed but gratified that an important newspaper is covering this critical story. I only wish the mainstream media in the U.S. would do the same.

Keep up the excellent works. Thanks!

US2oz, Allingham, Australia

Thank you for continuing to dig for the truth. We are helpless in America with a media blackout of this very important story. We are very grateful to have some light shining our way.

Thanks for your work on this, you guys. Leading the way!
