	American Civil Liberties Union : Inspector General's Report Concludes FBI Translator Fired for Reporting Misconduct
		According to today's summary, the Inspector General's investigation found that many of Edmonds' claims "were supported, that the FBI did not take them seriously enough, and that her allegations were, in fact, the most significant factor in the FBI's decision to terminate her services."
		The Inspector General's summary also criticizes the agency for not investigating Edmonds' allegations more thoroughly, comparing the FBI's mishandling of Edmonds' allegations to the mishandling of the case involving former FBI counterintelligence agent Robert Hanssen, who pled guilty to spying for the Soviet Union.
		Edmonds challenged her retaliatory dismissal by filing suit in federal court, but her case was dismissed last July after Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the so-called "state secrets privilege," and retroactively classified briefings to Congress related to her case.
