Today in a federal court in Washington, senior government lawyers will try and gag Mrs Edmonds, claiming that disclosure of her evidence “would cause serious damage to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States”.

Mrs Edmonds, 33, a Turkish-American who had top secret security clearance while working for the FBI, claimed earlier this month that information she had seen while working in the bureau’s headquarters in Washington proves senior officials knew of al Qaeda’s plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was “an outrageous lie”.

If she wasn’t telling the truth, would they bother gagging her?
