Media quiet as Sibel Edmonds case moves toward oblivion or explosion

There is no bigger court case in the world than that of whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, though you wouldn't know it to turn on the television and see Michael Jackson entering the courtroom a dozen times a day. Today, Edmonds and her attorneys were removed from the courthouse so that the Court of Appeals panel could talk privately with Bush administration attorneys. Mind you, these attorneys, whose job is to never let Edmonds' testimony see the light of day, are paid for with my tax money, and I am getting very anxious.

Since the news media pays no attention to this case whatsoever, the White House can shut the whole thing down and no one will even notice. If Edmonds is telling the truth, then "Watergate" will become a term for a matter of great triviality. According to Edmonds, hundreds of millions of laundered drug money is involved in her allegations about September 11. Congress is quiet as a mouse about the case for reasons that are perhaps implicit in Edmonds' allegations.

This is possibly the story of the decade, and not one newspaper showed up at the courthouse to cover the case today.
