Sibel Edmonds may never get her day in court - or at least the kind she wants.

The former FBI translator has spent seven years trying to get a court to hear her allegations that foreign agents, in particular Turkish intelligence, had penetrated her unit, the State Department, the Pentagon and Congress.

This weekend she's going to try again.

Several days ago I wrote a column that included a colorful anecdote about a drunken George Tenet railing against Bush administration officials, howling that they weren't going to get away with pinning lousy pre-war intelligence on Iraq on him and the CIA.

That prompted a note a few days later from Bill Harlow, still a spokesman for the former CIA Director, five years after both left the spy agency.

Harlow said virtually everyone involved in the incident denied it happened.
