As Jews who lived in Arab nations, she adds, they understood the idioms and expressions that might escape other translators who aren't from the region.Why idioms might be important:
Spanish idiom.... Cabeza de queso
Literally........ cheesehead
Meaning.......... blockhead, dunce, etc.
Saudi idiom...... Jihad baba ganoush
Literally........ A traditional Middle Eastern aubergine/ brinjal purée, made with garlic and tahini.
Meaning.......... the 55-gallon ANFO bombs are in the truck
American idiom... Dumbasses
Literally........ retarded mules and/or DemocRATs
Meaning.......... FBI

Balin argues that the Arab Jews it sent to the FBI to apply for translator jobs ''would be more likely to be loyal to the United States.'' ''They were against terrorists and against being attacked on these shores [on Sept. 11],'' he said, ''because they were people who had suffered those kinds of things overseas and were familiar with them, and saw the freedom that America brought to people.'' ''So it's crazy that no one was hired,'' Balin addedHow Stupid the decision makers in our government are? The only trust worth Arabic speaking Americans are the Christians and Jews. The Moslems have never have their hearts in this country. Why is it this concept is too difficult to figuer out.

''Maybe the FBI is not hiring Jewish people that often, I don't know,'' he said, suggesting the FBI fears offending the Muslim community.And why are we so concerned about not offending a religion that was declared illegitimate in the U.S. in 1892?
To: EUPHORIC
Another source familiar with the interviewing process says the FBI was concerned that many of the applicants were ''too close to Israel,'' and might lack the objectivity to accurately translate the Arabic recordings and writings of Muslim terrorist suspects under investigation. Indeed, some worked for the Israeli military. Those are the Jews I would hire. For these reasons:
1. -Translators can be kept isolated from from one another; so you can check several translations against each other; using your own trusted non- Jew, Non- muslim translator.
2. IMHO Jews are less likely than Muslims to contact the terrorists and tip them off to the facts that they are being bugged or their messages are being intercepted. - Tom
