Sibel Edmonds on Radio New Zealand

I can recommend this hour-long interview of US whistleblower Sibel Edmonds by Kim Hill of Radio New Zealand.

In the interview Edmonds gives a background to her biography and details what she has found about US actions since 9/11.

She neatly sidesteps being labelled a 'conspiracy theorist' by sticking to verifiable facts and avoiding speculation. Kim Hill, on her side, uncharacteristically shows some respect giving Edmonds the space to communicate while asking some pertinent questions.

Sibel Edmonds has shown great courage in self-publishing her memoir "Classified Woman The Sibel Edmonds Story: A Memoir", despite threats and warnings from the US authorities.



Classified Woman – Sibel Edmonds interviewed







Comments from Sibel Edmonds - 

Last Thursday I was interviewed by one of the (if not ‘the’) most respected and award-winning radio hosts in New Zealand – Kim Hill. Please take a few minutes and read her bio here. Thanks to Ms. Hill’s producer Mark Cubey we were able to overcome the Time-Zone Difference obstacle. They were kind enough to allocate over an hour to this interview, and I must say, this was one of the most memorable interviews I have had (as you know I’ve had hundreds- and several good ones ;-) .

What made this interview memorable to me-in addition to having a host who was intelligent-articulate-informed and tough (yes, tough!), was the last few questions during the second half of the show- particularly, a tough but humbling question I was asked towards the end of the show. This was the first time anyone has ever asked me ‘that’ question- and the very first time I’ve ever had to pause, think hard, reflect, and answer it with an answer sobering to myself …

Here is the link to the show (you may want to skip the first 20 minutes or so-the usual background/whistleblowing journey related topics, if you are familiar with my case or book):
