Who classified Sibel Edmonds report by the I-G of Justice Dep? Who *had the authority* to have classified the Sibel Edmonds report by the Inspector General of Justice Dep? see GA 381171 for two links of background information. According to this CNN story, the FBI was purportedly the classifying agency that classified the I-G report about itself (the FBI) and its firing of Sibel Edmonds. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/09/22/attacks.fbi.translator.ap/index.html Would the FBI have the inherent authority to classify an I-G report about itself or would it need endorsement from Attorney-General Ashcroft, head of the DoJ? According to this New York Times article, a recently unclassified summary of a separate I-G report dealing with technical and management problems in FBI linguist services is not inconsistent--supports even-- the Sibel Edmonds allegations that preceded her firing from FBI linguist services. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/28/politics/28fbi.html?pagewanted=1&hp But in the Washington Post article the same I-G is said to be, "....negotiating with the Justice Department to produce a public copy of that [A separate review of translation-related allegations] report, officials said.". http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55181-2004Sep27.html While over at CNN, the I-G purportedly needs the FBI's go-ahead. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/09/27/fbi.translation/ "The inspector general's review is separate from an earlier [now classified] review that investigated claims by former FBI linguist and whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds" "The inspector general said he is continuing to work with the FBI to produce a declassified version of that completed 100-page report. Edmonds sued the Justice Department last week, seeking to force the inspector general to disclose the results of the investigation into her firing." |
