Subj: Whistle-Blowing Said to Be Factor in an F.B.I. Firing

*Hi Dave,

For IP?  I'd be interested in someone explaining exactly what the 
"States Secrets" law is they keep mentioning in regards to this case. 
Cheers,

WASHINGTON, July 28 - A classified Justice Department investigation has 
concluded that a former F.B.I. translator at the center of a growing 
controversy was dismissed in part because she accused the bureau of 
ineptitude, and it found that the F.B.I. did not aggressively 
investigate her claims of espionage against a co-worker.

The Justice Department's inspector general concluded that the 
allegations by the translator, Sibel Edmonds, "were at least a 
contributing factor in why the F.B.I. terminated her services," and the 
F.B.I. is considering disciplinary action against some employees as a 
result, Robert S. Mueller III, director of the bureau, said in a letter 
last week to lawmakers. A copy of the letter was obtained by The New 
York Times.
