This is a big story. Stay tuned on this one. If the details come out, look for some really remarkable earhquakes and after-shocks. Will the public find out the truth here? Stay tuned. Will those at the top find a way to squelch this? Stay tuned.Come to think of it, squelching it will itself require an earthquake, and cause a million aftershocks. Stay tuned.

This is a GREAT article.I just have to post this. Did Sibel REALLY say MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is involved? WOW:Drug Trafficking.As I document in "Sibel Edmonds & the Neocons' Turkish Gravy-Train," Afghanistan supplies almost 90% of the world's heroin, and most of that goes straight to Turkey where it is processed, packaged, warehoused, and then re-exported to other countries for final consumption. Turkey supplies approximately 80% of Europe's heroin, and 15% of heroin in the US - worth approximately $40 billion at street prices.Turkey is widely acknowledged to be controlled by a "Deep State." In 1996, a deadly car crash at a place called Susurluk blew this out into the open. In the car were four people who probably shouldn't have been in the car together: "an MP, a police chief, a beauty queen and her lover, a top Turkish gangster and hitman called Abdullah Catli... Catli, a heroin trafficker on Interpol’s wanted list, was carrying a diplomatic passport signed by none other than the Turkish Interior Minister himself. [] The Susurluk Incident became Turkey’s Watergate, exposing the deep links between the Turkish state, terrorists and drug traffickers. It revealed what Turks call the Gizli Devlet, or Deep State – the politicians, military officers and intelligence officials who worked with drug bosses to move drugs from Afghanistan into Europe."Sibel spells it out: "The Turkish government, MIT and the Turkish military, not only sanctions, but also actively participates in and oversees the narcotics activities and networks."

This story has been around for a while. This could be like when Congress discovered that Nixon had been taping all of his conversations. Waxman is in a position to unravel the whole sordid post-9/11 mess, if he investigates this story. It would be nice to see those in the FBI, who really do a good job, and want to protect this country rewarded for their courage, and those appointees vilified who want to protect "important persons."
