Creative Speculation

There is no evidence whatsoever that OBL was ever "employed by US intelligence," much less "right up until 9/11." That Edmonds fantasy appears to be based on some more "truther" bullshit. According to people who were actually in a position to know (unlike Edmonds), the US did in fact support Afghan rebels, but that support was channeled through the Pakistan ISI. That arrangement was dictated by Pakistan as a condition for their cooperation, and they exclusively supported the Afghan mujahideen groups, not the Arab volunteers like OBL's group. If OBL ever saw any of that money or got his hands on any US-supplied weapons (which he denied), then it would have been indirectly at best.

Sibel Edmonds was employed for a few months as an FBI translator of Turkish, Persian, and Azerbaijani, and her assignments were to translate Turkish diplomats and politicians. Any messages involving intimate knowledge of OBL would almost certainly have been in Urdu, Pashto or Arabic, because that's what people in any position to know such details would speak. There is no logical reason to believe that even if OBL was a CIA asset, Turkish diplomats and politicians would have known about it. As if Edmonds' sudden recollection about OBL's "employment" while on the Mike Malloy radio show to promote her book, several years after the start of her personal publicity campaign, weren't dubious enough and completely unsupported, there is no reason to believe she was ever in a position to receive such information.

Nope, OBL's confessions are not moot, but let's start another endless thread. Just for fun.
