Review: "Sibel Edmonds Finally Wins"
Excerpts:
I've read a million reviews of nonfiction books about our government that referred to them as "page-turners" and "gripping dramas," but I had never read a book that actually fit that description until now.
...
The F.B.I., the Justice Department, the White House, the Congress, the courts, the media, and the nonprofit industrial complex put Sibel Edmonds through hell. This book is her triumph over it all, and part of her contribution toward fixing the problems she uncovered and lived through.
...
Yet, thus far, no branch of our government has lifted its little finger to fix the problem of secrecy and the corruption it breeds, which Edmonds argues has grown far worse under President Obama. That's why this book should be spread far and wide, and read aloud to our misrepresentatives in Congress if necessary. This book is a masterpiece that reveals both the details and the broader pattern of corruption and unaccountability in Washington, D.C. Edmonds has not exposed bad apples, but a rotten barrel of toxic waste that will sooner or later infect us all -- not just the whistleblowers like Sibel and the thousands of people in our government who see something and dare not say something for fear that we will not have their back.

My Midnight Hour Radio Interview
Last night, actually ... this morning (since we are talking 12:00 a.m. interview here!) I was interviewed by journalist, producer and radio host James Corbett. Despite several commercial breaks we were able to cover several important topics related to Classified Woman.
Tonight on the program we are joined by FBI whistleblower, transparency activist, and alternative media personality, Sibel Edmonds, about her new memoir, Classified Woman. We discuss the details of her Kafkaesque struggle trying to bring her story to light and how she has managed to publish her book in the face of opposition and subversion from the government, the media, and the foundation-funded NGOs who are supposed to “protect” the whistleblowers.

Please let me know what you think. Do I make sense after midnight- after turning into a pumpkin?
