[EUPHORIC]

Nothing crazy about it. Just a quite well planned and executed infiltration of critical branches of Government by Socialists and their friends. They've done it before and will do it again. Read the Communist Manifesto and Marx and it is all plainly spelled out and they ARE doing it today.

McCarthy was RIGHT.

This makes me FURIOUS!!!! This is OUR safety and security they're messing around with, for some stupid PC notion.

To whom can we complain?

Thus we now see the legacy of Queen Cankle and her "husband", IMPOTUS X-42...

"F***ING JEW BA$TARD$ need not apply"...

After all, the FBI is an Irish Catholic Good-Ol'-Boy's club where mebership comes from Jesuit schools and BC in Boston!

And being a TRAITOROUS ISLAMAZI gets you a promotion!

[MarkL]

You know, I'm starting to believe it's a toss up... Who's the greatest threat the the United States... Al Queda, the US State Department, or now, the FBI...

If they take in Jewish translators, the Muslim translators will become unhappy. That's my guess.

[kimosabe31]

However, the head of the New York office recently invited a Muslim cleric to preach to New York agents about Islam’s alleged peaceful attributes as part of a bureau-wide Muslim-sensitivity training program. FBI Director Robert Mueller has reached out to several Muslim-rights groups since the Sept. 11 attacks.

This is so incredibly stupid that I believe every word. Heaven help our country with these people in charge of national security.

[DonQ]

Not a great surprise. The CIA has a building devoted to Middle East intelligence ... and no Jews are allowed to enter, regardless of their history, rank or office.

You would think, since these translators are wanted because the FBI is concerned about Arabic terrorists, they'd want translators who are more likely to be unsympathetic to Arabs than the Moslems that they've been using. At they could use the Jews to do duplicate translations for reliability checking.

On the other hand, according to a British newspaper account of a few years back, the US Air Force base in Saudi Arabia has been supplying the Saudis with high-tech eavesdropping on Israeli military communications. US jets fly at sufficient altitude to pick up signals from Israeli walkie-talkies, wireless phones, and the like, and US airman (who are positively not Jewish or else they wouldn't have been allowed in Saudi Arabia) specially trained by the USAF to be fluent in Hebrew (in classes that the USAF coyly titled "Special Arabic") translate the chatter for their Saudi hosts. Since this was published in a London newspaper, the Israelis are aware of this and probably not very happy about it.

[ChicagoHebrew]

I wonder if the FBI also turned down applications from Arab Christians, there's a pretty sizable Christian Lebanese and Iraqi population in the US. My bet is yes: better to compromize national security than learn the truth about Arab state thuggery.

[tkathy]

If this is true, it is a sign that something really wrong going on.

[Publius6961]

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.

And the problem with that is....?

So the morons hire madrassas graduates instead?

Sheeeesh!

[First Amendment]

Totally sick. There have been so many incidents that we've heard of (imagine ones we haven't yet) of Muslim guys in the military or other sensitive positions that were really spies and enemies. I hate it that the Bush administration isn't cleaning up this crap. It is going to bite us if it isn't.

[Pro-Bush]

Maybe the Feds are worried about potential spies.

No.

No, that is not right, they would have the same problem with Arabs.

Just talkin' to myself.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I don't understand your comment.

I've been asking this question for a while: Why not hire Jews to do the interpretting? I'm still not hearing an answer.

With "just us" for oil......

[JCG]

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

Who is Steve Emerson?

[nightdriver]

''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?

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
