From the bottom of "Sept. 11 commission cites intelligence agency failures" by Chris Strohm (govexec.com; 3/24/04) "In her review, Edmonds said the documents clearly showed that the Sept. 11 hijackers were in the country and plotting to use airplanes as missiles. The documents also included information relating to their financial activities. Edmonds said she could not comment in detail because she has been under a Justice Department gag order since October 2002."
FBI ordered to expedite release of papers by David Pace (AP: 12/10/02)
Quick Release Sought on FBI Whistleblower Files (AP: 12/10/02) ""A federal judge ordered the FBI to expedite the release of information sought by a whistleblower who was fired after she raised allegations of security lapses in the FBI's translator program. U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle ordered FBI officials to appear in court Friday and disclose when the agency will provide the sensitive documents sought by Sibel Edmonds, a former contract linguist. The Justice Department's inspector general is investigating whether the FBI retaliated against Edmonds, who was fired last spring and subjected to a security review after she made allegations about security lapses. The bureau cited performance issues for the dismissal. Edmonds's allegations range from shoddy transcriptions by unqualified translators to suggestions that one interpreter with a relative who works at a foreign embassy may have compromised national security. After her firing, Edmonds filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeking records about herself, her personnel file and her whistleblower allegations. She asked that the request be expedited, but the FBI refused." "The judge said Edmonds's charges "call into question the integrity" of the FBI."
