Meanwhile in Washington yesterday, Sibel Edmonds, the former FBI translator who was hired after Sept. 11, joined with Daniel Ellsberg, who exposed the Pentagon Papers, to call on federal workers to come forward with information regarding the Sept. 11 attacks. Edmonds said that based on documents she saw as a translator, the government had information in the months leading up to 9/11 that an attack by hijackers using planes was imminent.
