I meant more of a quick few sentences from you but that's cool. I'm parsing through all this text and I think I found it.

before 9/11....

"...in July or August 2001, an unnamed FBI field agent discovers foreign documentation revealing “certain information regarding blueprints, pictures, and building material for skyscrapers being sent overseas. It also reveal[s] certain illegal activities in obtaining visas from certain embassies in the Middle East, through network contacts and bribery.” The document is in a foreign language and apparently the agent isn’t given an adequate translation of it before 9/11."

After 9/11....

"One of Sibel Edmond’s main assignments as a contract FBI translator is to expedite requested translations from field agents. Shortly after she is hired by the FBI, an Arizona field agent requests that certain material be re-translated. He is concerned that the original translation may not have been thorough enough. When she does the re-translation, she discovers that it contains information extremely relevant to the September 11 attacks, including references to “blueprints, pictures, and building material for skyscrapers being sent overseas” It also “reveals certain illegal activities in obtaining visas from certain embassies in the Middle East, through network contacts and bribery” (see July-August 2001). [Edmonds, 8/1/2004] After re-translating the documents, she goes to supervisor Mike Feghali and says, “I need to talk to this agent over a secure line because what we came across in this retranslating is gigantic, it has specific information about certain specific activity related to 9/11.” But Feghali refuses to send the retranslation to the same agent, telling her, “How would you like it if another translator did this same thing to you? The original translator is going to be held responsible.” The agent never receives the re-translation he requested from Edmonds. Instead he is told by the Washington field office that the original translation is fine. [Boston Globe, 7/5/2004; Edmonds, 8/1/2004]"

CooperativeResearch.org words this excerpt and it would seem that the, before 9/11/2001, the FBI agent found information with 9/11 sounding intelligence (blueprints, skyscapers, visas). But the truth is he, possibly, did not actually see intelligence relating to any of the things stated because Sibel Edmonds didn't translate that until after 9/11. And even at that point....the post-9/11 'accurate' translation was not even given back to the 'unnamed field agent' from Arizona.

So does the 'unnamed field agent' even know he's involved in this story? I wonder if that agent also thought the circumstances are suspicious. From the CooperativeResearch info it seems he could very well be oblivious to all this which would make the case a little bit more interesting.

I'm trying to corroborate the things she says and it would be nice to know if this guy is out in the open supporting her.

It's crazy how incompetent she describes the FBI as being. Think about this....

If the translations are incompetent then how can we even gage the accuracy of where the information that they were hired to translate came from? If the department responsible for the collection of the intelligence is even just half as competent as this massive translation complex by FBI headquarters.....

The whole story sounds very bizarre to me. Sibel claims that there was this 'poor' bumbling Turkish guy named Kevin that didn't know either English OR his target language. This poor guy was married to a woman who worked at the department that schedules language proficiency test. Yes...schedules...tests.

So, poor Kevin's wife made a deal with the guy who headed the Arabic translation department. This guy had apparently approached Kevin's (poor bumbling Turkish guy) wife and got her to 'ok' 7-8 of his Arabic family members in exchange for getting Kevin a job.

OK so then later in this interview I'm reading....Sibel is claiming she is having to constantly help translate information for Kevin, the 'poor' bumbling Turkish guy who knows no English! She claims he would constantly come to her and say "What does this mean?" and should have to do his work.

So I don't understand. It sounds like he's asking Sibel what certain foreign words mean. Like he's translating Turkish and saying "what does this word mean?" (that's what sibel says he would say constantly)....but isn't he from Turkey? The interviewer asks Sibel:

""there's the Guantanamo Bay Turkish-English translator who actually didn't know either language very well, Kevin Taskasen, I believe? And he worked with you at some point?"

And Sibel says:

"Correct."

Was language does he speak? Is it Turkish? The guy was Turkish but didn't know English....and...apparently...didn't know Turkish and who got a 3 year pass from an Arabic Supervisor? What language does this guy speak anyway?

Maybe I missed something. I have to re-read a few things.
