BROOKE GLADSTONE: And now, an update. In May, we related the saga of Sibel Edmonds, the FBI translator-turned-whistleblower who brought claims of FBI failures to the attention of the 9/11 Commission, the FBI brass and, indirectly, to the public. We noticed the story because the Justice Department responded to her allegations by imposing a gag order on her, retroactively classifying documents and invoking the "state secrets privilege." And, because the whistleblower was fired and thrown out of her office -- though FBI officials claim that there was no connection between her allegations and her lost job --last week a Justice Department investigation found otherwise, concluding that Edmonds' charges, quote, "were at least a contributing factor in her termination." That comes from a classified letter from FBI director Robert S. Mueller to members of Congress. The document, leaked to the New York Times last week, also states that the Bureau is considering disciplinary action against some parties involved in the firing.

BOB GARFIELD: And now some corrections. Many of you wrote to point out that in our story about the French media response to a faked anti-Semitic hate crime, we failed to mention that the woman who perpetrated the hoax wasn't Jewish. S. Michaels of Los Angeles writes: "It matters to Jews to have this fact pointed out, lest people think that the woman who made up the story about anti-Semitism was Jewish." Also last week, we -- all right, I -- took full advantage of my two opportunities to mispronounce the name of one of our guests. I spoke to Mirza Baig [pronounced like vague] --one of the founders of the humor website Islamica News. Keep your comments and corrections coming. Write to onthemedia@wnyc.org, and don't forget to tell us where you live and how to pronounce your name.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: Not that that necessarily means we'll get it right.
