Sibel Deniz Edmonds (born 1970)[1] is a Turkish-American [2] former FBI and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC). She gained notoriety following her firing from her position as a language specialist at the FBI's Washington Field Office in March, 2002, after she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving foreign nationals, alleging serious security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence which, she contended, constituted a danger to US security. Her later claims have gained her awards and fame as a whistleblower.[3]
Her book, ‘Shooting the Messenger’, co-authored with Professor William Weaver, is due to be published by Kansas University Press in the Autumn of 2010.
