Whistleblowers Reveal How Time Magazine Dropped the Ball on the "Bogota Connection"
The Backstory to How a Mainstream Media Powerhouse Was Beaten to the Punch on the Story by Narco News

By Bill Conroy
Special report from Sibel Edmonds

June 11, 2009

    REPORTER'S NOTE: Narco News in early January 2006 broke the story about an alleged ring of corruption involving the DEA's office in Bogota, Colombia; North Valley Cartel narco-traffickers; Colombian paramilitary forces; and the Colombian National Police. The story was based on a memo drafted by a U.S. government lawyer named Thomas Kent. That memo was leaked to Narco News by sources who have faith in authentic journalism.

    After publishing the initial story based on the Kent memo, Narco News continued to follow and develop the story, resulting, to date, in some 20 stories in the series now dubbed the "Bogota Connection."

    Now, for the first time, a group of whistleblowers have stepped forward to discuss part of the backstory to the original Kent memo story — specifically their efforts to get a major mainstream media outlet, Time Magazine, to publish a story about the memo even as Narco News was in the midst of doing the investigative reporting necessary to put its own story together on the corruption revelations.

    As it turned out (a sign of the times we live in, I suppose) Time Magazine, with all of its resources, dropped the ball — allowing Narco News to break the story, which offers readers a major insight into the nature of the drug war and why it is doomed to failure.

    Whether due to embarrassment at being beat by a nonprofit, scrappy online newspaper, or due to some other political concerns pegged to their arrangements with the power structure, Time Magazine has not to date printed a word about the Kent memo — nor has any other mainstream publication other than to seek, ineffectively, to discredit Kent's allegations (many of them since documented as accurate by Narco News). [See link here.]

    So, for those of you who have followed the story, or for those of you interested in digging into it for the first time, what follows is the exclusive report — shared with Narco News by national security whistleblower Sibel Edmonds [cross-posted on her new blog, 123 Real Change] — that lays out the backstory to Time Magazine's fumble on the Bogota Connection.

Project EXPOSE MSM Reports
Major DEA Scandal & Time Magazine
By Sibel Edmonds
Project Expose MSM

As noted in the announcement, 123 Real Change invites all members of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, other active (covert or overt) government whistleblowers, and reporters, to publish their experiences in regard to their own first-hand dealings with the media, where their legit disclosures were either intentionally censored/blacked out, tainted, or otherwise met with a betrayal of trust.

This second project report is based on the first-hand documented experience of Mr. Sandalio Gonzalez, retired Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Special Agent in Charge. Time Magazine reporters Tim Burger and Tim Padgett had an opportunity to speak at length with Mr. Gonzalez and several other veteran DEA agents with direct knowledge of a major corruption case involving several DEA agents on drug traffickers' payrolls in Colombia. The involved corrupt US officers were also directly involved in helping Colombia's paramilitary death squads launder drug proceeds. Further presented was the documented cover up of this major scandal by the DEA and DOJ IG offices. Despite corroboration by a number of other sources, including several veteran DEA agents and other government officials with first-hand knowledge of the case, and documented evidence disclosed and provided, and despite being given an 'exclusive' to the story as insisted on by them, Time Magazine never published the story, and no reasons were ever provided.


    Name, Title, and /or Background

    Name: Sandalio Gonzalez

    Title: Special Agent in Charge (Ret.), DEA

    Background: Mr. Gonzalez retired from the DEA as Special Agent in Charge of the El Paso, Texas Field Division in January 2005 after 32 years in law enforcement. He began his career in 1972 at the local level in Los Angeles, California and joined the DEA in 1978.

    For more detailed background information see here.

    Name of Publication and/or Editor and/or Reporter

    Publication: Time Magazine

    Reporter: Tim Padgett & Tim Burger

    Editor: Unknown

    Method

    Complete blackout. No reason provided. The disclosure was supported and corroborated by three other highly credible veteran DEA agents, officials, and documents.

Good to hear that. I was going to say you're wasting your time if you put any faith in that "limited hang out" wench. People like Jon Gold and his 911blogger take over clique promoted the hell out of her at that site. She's a complete distraction and waste of time. I wouldn't waste any of your time on her in the future either. It's like the stories cockeye bob is spamming on here. Stuff to get time wasting debate/discussion going. I wouldn't be surprised if edmonds is a jewish turk or some such.

i think what happened with Sibel is that she was hired by the NSA after 9-11 based on her language experience, and found a shit-storm of crime involving Israel primarily, and other countries too.

she started asking inconvenient questions, they sidelined her & fired her - and then gagged her.

so then when she does an interview she talks about "Turkey".  OK, now i admit, Turkey is a good place to look at if you're studying world affairs.  probably lots of stuff going on, penetration by Mossad, and also control of the Kurds in Iraq, since the Kurds in Iraq are loyal to the Kurds in Turkey.

what i would like to see is Sibel telling the truth about Israel & the Zionists.  i won't hold my breath, but i think she knows things that we would find very interesting.

Sibel Edmonds is a Turkish Jew. There are a few interviews with Anti-War.com's Scott Horton where she get's into the AIPAC American Turkish Council stuff. Don't forget though, she is gagged for a reason.

I don't waste ANY time with her; she is just not worth "my" time.

Found this via another thread with unsubstantiated allegations regarding her ethnicity. Where is your proof that she is Jewish, or are you posting your suspicions as fact?
