Sibel Edmonds is talking. She’s naming names... Sort of. In order to mildly circumvent her gag order, she didn’t name names so much as post their pictures and allow the bloggers to connect the names to the pictures. According to her website, certain top US government officials worked with foreign countries to sell US nuclear secrets on the black market. Ever wonder how Pakistan got nukes? Well, wonder no more. According to the Times:

Among the hours of covert tape recordings, she says she heard evidence that one well-known senior official in the U.S. State Department was being paid by Turkish agents in Washington who were selling the information on to black market buyers, including Pakistan. The name of the official – who has held a series of top government posts – is known to The Sunday Times. He strongly denies the claims. However, Edmonds said: 'He was aiding foreign operatives against U.S. interests by passing them highly classified information, not only from the State Department but also from the Pentagon, in exchange for money, position and political objectives.
