It's hard to know what to say, except that I wonder whether other government translators have this experience and just don't say anything....

There are more than a few things wrong with this story. However, the one that jumped out at me was the mentioning of Abdullah Catli and his living in Chicago. I can find no reference anywhere else that this notorious internal criminal ever lived in the US let alone Chicago. Since his death in '96 in a car accident in Turkey his whereabouts over the years has become fairly well documented. The only reference to Chicago and Catli comes by way of a Turkish business man named Özbay who had lost his passport and went to Chicago Turkish consulate to get replaced.

An accident occurred in 1996 when the investigation into the two Iranians’ deaths was still under way. While Çatlı died in the accident, his other identity, Özbay, which was actually stolen from a businessman who applied to the Turkish Consulate in Chicago for a new passport in 1995 after losing his old one, is alive, according to official records. Mahmut Yıldırım, although presumed dead, has not been declared as such officially. This is why there are still arrest warrants out for the two men. In 2003, a criminal case was launched against the two, who have been accused of many crimes.

Now Catli did visit the US, Miami, in 1982.

When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion." - Robert Pirsig "If the Goverment is a car setting out to give every one a ride to work, then for 40 years the Republicans have been puncturing the tires, pouring sand in the gas tank, stealing the distributor cap, and, whenever they can get their hands on the wheel, driving it straight into the nearest ditch and then, pointing to the wreckage as the tow truck backs up to it, saying, 'See, this proves that people were meant to walk.' And they do this so that they don't have to chip in on gas." - Lance Mannion "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity." - Voltaire "As one decidedly hip Boomer once told me: The most sensitive part of the male anatomy is the right rear pocket." - Margaret Bassett "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Ghandi "We lost the fight, we didn't lose the argument" - Noemi Klein
