Yes, London Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Whatever happened or didn’t happen with Edmonds, here she is just trying to keep herself “in the news” recycling the hearsay or tying in events that had nothing to do with her time in the FBI or reality.

e.g.

— “In summer 2000, Edmonds says the FBI monitored one of the agents as he met two Saudi Arabian businessmen in Detroit to sell nuclear information that had been stolen from an air force base in Alabama. She overheard the agent saying: ‘We have a package and we’re going to sell it for $250,000.’ “ — well, she was nowhere near FBI in 2000, so could not overhear anything like this.

Lawrence Franklin was not passing any nuclear secrets, and which he had no access to - he was passing information to Israeli (in many cases legally on behalf of the government as “back channel”) about US policy and concerns towards Iran to Naor Gilon, a specialist on Iranian nuclear program at Israely Embassy. He fell under surveillance around 2004 (way after Edmonds was out of FBI and stopped being an “insider”) because Gilon was under surveillance, and there was no money involved - most information was legitimately passed, some was unauthorized but Israelis had no way of knowing which was and which was not. Two of the AIPAC employees are soon to be on trial (which is a another of DoJ’s travesties, BTW) in Franklin-related case (he made a deal to cut the time), but I don’t see what any of this it has to do with Sibel Edmonds - she is just using this as a “conspiracy gossip” to bolster her bona fide as an “expert” in whatever she is doing to promote herself and keep her in “gadfly business”.

Turkey and Israel are our allies (including intelligence), and we do share certain amount of information with them and their intelligence services. We also share with and keep certain information from our allies like Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia etc. FBI also keeps certain information from CIA and NSA and vice versa, etc. etc. “Lawrence Franklins”, passing unauthorized info, should be punished but I have not seen much evidence of that in recent years. Why do they have to do that when they can pass it to NYT and Washington Post with impunity?

Now, Wilson and Valerie Plame met at ATC dinner and had extensive ties with ATC, as discussed above on this thread. That is far more interesting (and yet unexplored entirely) than recent hearsays of Sibel Edmonds based on any news that come out from time to time from FBI or DoJ.
