The new issue of Vanity Fair is coming out with a major piece on FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds’ case. The 11-page article is in the issue that hits newsstands in New York City tomorrow (Wednesday).
The article, by British journalist David Rose, promises to have new revelations beyond “the tip of the iceberg.”
Edmonds, “the most gagged woman in history,” is appealing to the US Supreme Court on Thursday to allow her to talk about what she knows about pre-9/11 intelligence failures.
Dave DeBatto will play his pre-recorded interview with former Abu Ghraib commander Janice Karpinski on his new radio show tonight at Midnight (Eastern Time, 9pm Pacific).
Debatto says “In the interview, Karpinski names, names all the way to the top, disclosing documents she saw authorizing illegal interrogation methods.”
Dave DeBatto’s new show (co-hosted by Kate Delaney), America At Night is broadcast on 70 radio stations (including KNEW in San Francisco), and on the Internet live.

The book has also racked up a few glowing reviews.
Here’s what the Seattle Times had to say:
“A no holds barred look at our Iraq quagmire … an important first-person document historians will look to in the future as they draw a more complete picture of America’s catastrophic victory in Iraq.”
Publisher’s Weekly gave How America Lost Iraq a starred review:
“Glantz’s account is full of interviews with ordinary Iraqis, and from their evolving thoughts and experiences he builds a critique of the many American misconceptions about Iraq, one that castigates equally the left’s knee-jerk preconceptions, the occupation authorities’ cluelessness and heavy-handed misrule and the media’s lack of interest in the suffering of Iraqis. The result is a nuanced and hard-hitting indictment.”
