For
the second time in two weeks, the entire U.S. press has let itself be
scooped by Rupert Murdoch’s London Sunday Times
on a dynamite story of criminal activities by corrupt U.S. officials
promoting nuclear proliferation. But there is a worse journalistic sin
than being scooped, and that is participating in a cover-up of
information that demands urgent attention from the public, the U.S.
Congress, and the courts.

According
the Times article, the U.S. government sought to
gag Edmonds from revealing that corrupt government officials —
specifically, State Department official Marc Grossman — were directly
involved in the stealing and selling of nuclear secrets to foreign
agents. In her role as translator, Edmonds listened in on, or
translated, hundreds of secretly intercepted conversations between
State Department officials and foreign nationals from 1996 to 2002.
Exclusively, Edmonds told the Times about an FBI case file
marked 203A-WF-210023. One arm of the FBI denied the file’s existence
to the Times; another arm of the FBI provided
the Times with a signed document
confirming its existence. All of the info in the file predates A.Q.
Kahn — the father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb — admitting he had been
secretly selling nuclear weapons
technology to Libya, Iran, and North Korea.
