Seeing the Washington FBI through the Eyes of a Whistleblower

I've been reading the History Commons 9/11 Timeline for events related to FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds.  Begin reading at the time she was hired on September 20, 2001, as a translator for the FBI, and you may also come to gradually feel like your swimming in a cesspool of corruption that seems to pervade the entire Washington bureau of the FBI. After a while all I wanted to do was take a shower to somehow cleanse myself of the filth that seemed to cling to every part of me. I found myself thinking that if things were really this bad throughout Washington, blowing up a couple of buildings in New York City would be small potatoes.
