Arab translators cheered Sept. 11 FBI Whistleblower: 'Questions of loyalty' tainted interpretation of al-Qaida chatter
WorldNetDaily:
WASHINGTON – In a shocking revelation, an FBI whistleblower claims some Arab-Americans translating Arabic intercepts for the FBI spoke approvingly of the terrorist attacks on America more than two years ago.
Former FBI translator Sibel D. Edmonds says translators of Middle Eastern origin working for the FBI's Washington field office maintain an "us"-versus-"them" attitude that's so strong it may be compromising al-Qaida investigations.

I know. I didn't read all of them. It's a shame. They should have a high standard of speech and behavior for translators and immediately dismiss anyone who doesn't meet it. They should take both Arab and Jew, best to have them both, and they should ask for translations from two separate people for every bit of intel. They should keep their translators at home and separate so that they don't even know who the others are.
