I don't know how much you know about Sibel Edmonds, so here are two links. One is to the story itself in its most recent iteration.
The other is from a blog that has been heavily following this story for years.
I will note that she had to go to a non-US paper to spill this. On the other hand, while her story damns both GOP and former Clinton officials, many in her naming of names (see below) are tied to Bush I, Bush II, Reagan, or are otherwise sympathetic or instrumental to the neocon cult. It is coming from a Rupert Murdoch paper, but as we know, he only slavishly supports the right in this country, whereas elsewhere his papers and stations serve other parties that have power.
To wit
She has named the names, apparently. It is no surprise to see Douglas Feith in there. Or his accomplice Larry Franklin.

Foreign intelligence agents from Turkey, Israel and Pakistan enlisted the support of high-level US officials in order to acquire a network of moles deep inside of sensitive American military and nuclear agencies, including "PhD students – with security clearance [at] Los Alamos nuclear laboratory in New Mexico, which is responsible for the security of the US nuclear deterrent."
● Members of the diplomatic community were given lists of potential "moles" at the sensitive installations. Edmonds tells the Times: "the lists contained all their 'hooking points', which could be financial or sexual pressure points, their exact job in the Pentagon and what stuff they had access to."
● Well-known US officials were then bribed by foreign agents to steal US nuclear secrets. One such incident from 2000 involves an agent overheard on a wiretap discussing "nuclear information that had been stolen from an air force base in Alabama," in which the agent allegedly is heard saying: "We have a package and we’re going to sell it for $250,000."
● Nuclear secrets were then subsequently sold by foreign agents to America's enemies, including Iran, North Korea and Libya.
● Pakistani officials involved in the nuclear black market network have significant cross-over with al-Qaeda and 9/11. Officials such as the chief of ISI, Pakistan's spy agency, allegedly sent $100,000 to 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta, and aides of A.Q. Kahn --- who had used the stolen secrets to develop nuclear weapons for Pakistan --- met with Osama bin Laden "weeks before 9/11...to discuss an Al-Qaeda nuclear device."
● Elements of the US government have repeatedly shut down investigations into these crimes under the guise of protecting "certain diplomatic relations."
● The US government has been aware of all of the above information since at least 2001.
