An estimated one-fifth of a subset of all applicants for Central Intelligence Agency positions had significant ties to the terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah and al Qaeda, a newly released document from the Edward Snowden collection revealed Monday.
The document — released by Mr. Snowden as part of his National Security Agency intelligence dump — said the terrorist groups worked hard to infiltrate America’s top security agencies. CIA officials uncovered thousands of applicants, roughly one in five of a subset, with “significant terrorist and/or hostile intelligence connections,” the document states, as Ynet News reported.
The specifics of those ties were not revealed, but the groups most often cited as attempting to infiltrate the U.S. intelligence network were al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah.
The NSA, in response, launched investigations into 4,000 instances of suspected abnormal staff activity, Ynet News said. Those investigations included the tracking of employee keystrokes on agency computers and the recording of document downloads.

Hire them! Hire them! Equal opportunity!
“Sir...did you really expect us to interview you for a job this morning after you showed up wearing a suicide vest?”
So, one in five Muslims applying for jobs with the CIA are radical jihadists trying to infiltrate American intel apparatus?
I want that one in five translated into an actual numerical value. Exactly how many radical jihadists did the CIA detect - 10? 100? 1000? - and what did the CIA do once these murderous psychos were detected? Were they arrested? Where are they now? Name them! We have a right to know!
Did they get hired? Affirmative Action?
This story is very poorly sourced. The Washington Times only refers to “a document,” but does not quote the document, and does not specify how it became aware of the document or to whom the document was released. I was expecting a reference to The Guardian, which has been Snowden’s main conduit for releasing information, but I found no such reference. I did not see this story on Drudge, either, so I’m wondering where it came from and if it’s accurate.
Do I have to say it?

Surprise? The agencies are under order to make nice with those middle eastern religion of peace people, the nice kind tolerant souls who jumped up and down for joy on 9/11.
So naturally, hordes of those nice people are trying to get into agencies where they can damage the USA the most.
Listen. The religion of peace is a violent, world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion. Any one who belongs to it is by reason of membership working for the overthrow of the American form of government.
Yes he is and we are once again fighting the enemy from within.
You beat my by two hours!Identical posts.LOL
Known unknowns and unknown unknowns? Somewhere in the night, someone like Al Sharpton is crying ‘racism’.
