See tagline...
“As a result hundreds have been killed in Iraq from infiltration of our military and civilian intelligence agencies by agents of Islamist terrorists. Our FBI and CIA have been infiltrated by Muslim linguists who have successfully evaded polygraph tests and been able to pass on vital information to terror groups in the Middle East such as Hezbollah.”
Sounds like BS to me.
Some 90 Yemeni-born Jews in New York offered their services after 911.
The FBI rejected all of them. The fear of Jews communicating secrets to Israel, and/or the fear of offending the Saudis (who help out—sometimes and at their pleasure—with intelligence) apparently overrules common sense.
bump for later read
Ping.
Recall, toddlintown, that Muslims are permitted by the Koran to lie to heathens.
I know quite a few Christian Arab translators in Iraq. These are American citizens who were born in Iraq but emigrated to the U.S. with their families when most of these translators were children or teenagers.
That being said, there has definitely been some infiltration, although this has improved drastically since 2004 through improved vetting systems.

State Dep’t traitors? Unthinkable!>s
I’m a translator, and people in the translation business have known about this for a long time.
One of the problems, unfortunately, is that many average translators - of any and all languages - are like academics: they are bitter leftists. Thus, they are actually thrilled by the fact that the Muslim translators are undermining the US at every turn.
I went to a translators’ conference and the anti-Americanism and left-wing, anti-Israel, pro-Muslim lunacy there was beyond belief. I actually quit the “professional organization” that sponsored it (NAJIT - National Association of Judicial Interpreters and Translators).
One of the problems is that NAJIT provides continuing ed credits for courtroom interpreters, as required by certain states. But a bunch of weirdo leftists had taken over the group and even the training was left-wing and anti-American. (In one class I attended, they spent their time translating anti-Bush political slogans.)

There are some articles on FR, but it looks like the majority have been wiped out of the keyword search.
