Ask and Receive
Yesterday I asked which Middle Eastern country, and which shadowy "targeted organization," were being referred to in this report on the allegations of espionage by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds.
HD "Travelling Shoes" Miller responds:
Regarding Sibel Edmonds, FBI whistle-blower: She's Turkish. Sibel is a popular female Turkish name.Also, under the heading of "open source intelligence" check out this website. A Sibel Edmonds appears on a list of donors to a charity that gives relief to victims of the latest Turkish earthquake. 99% of the other names on the list are Turkish.
As for my guess about the shadowy organization: it's the Turkish Mafia, which has ties to the Albania Mafia. Both are under serious investigation by the FBI. The Turkish mafia is big in Germany, and the Albanians are big in the US, trafficking in the usual stuff--women, drugs, guns, stolen computers, and various white collar stockmarket crimes.
Also, who else other than the Mafia is going to enable you to "retire early" in the words of the unnamed spy's military husband?
(By the way, check out Miller's great post on the Beach Boys, rock and roll and teen culture.)
