FBI Arab translators cheered Sept. 11

Given that the FBI excludes all Jewish Americans from Arabic translations since the 911 Atrocities,
hopefully, these terrorists planning murder within the American homeland
will honestly and fully share their "records"
with their own English "translations" of their Arabic and coded Arabic.

I do NOT want to believe this story.

[eclectic]

Methinks that there is more to unwillingness of the Arabic FBI translators to accept Arabic-speaking Jews as their colleagues than the old-fashioned Jew-hatred...

[Diogenesis]

Important BUMP for massive US Security problem.

Accountability at the FBI?
Cheering Arabs at the 911 Atrocities -- no problema
Stolen FBI files used by the DNC -- no problema
Hate crimes against Christians and Jews -- no problema
Arab terrorists controlling FBI translation services -- no problema

It's hard to fathom the idiot who would let his emotions show in this instance. I wonder long long it will be before someone blames Robert Mueller for allowing these people to be employed by the FBI?

[Hostage]

Neither do I. And I would bet that even if true the impact is small.

From what I know the DOD maintains the world's top language school in Monterey California, the Defense Language Institute. I understand they have the capability to immerse an individual in a language for six months and have them speaking without accent.

If that's the case, backup translations should easily be vlaidated via recordings.

[Diogenesis]

Where is the demand for the firing of these FBI employees for laughing at the murder of Americans by their friends and allies?
Why are they still working at the FBI instead of rotting in Cuba?

[Freedom2specul8]

Shocking and unbelievable bump

I do NOT want to believe this story.

You and me both..

[Puppage]

I have always wondered....if an Islamic American had 2 phones & they both rang. One from our President asking them to go to war, and another from a (I HATE this word) Cleric asking them to Jihad, which call would they answer???

If this story is any indication, the answer is plain as day.

I understand they have the capability to immerse an individual in a language for six months and have them speaking without accent.

BULL! You can't take an adult, immerse him in a language, and then have him speaking it without an accent in six months. In fact he/she will always have some accent.

[umgud]

Given that the FBI excludes all Jewish Americans from Arabic translations......

Selective political correctness may be the death of us.

[Quilla]

I had a sneaking suspicion you'd be posting 9-11 pictures to this thread. I've never seen that top one before - shudder. Thanks for posting them as so many seem to have forgotten the attacks on our country. God bless America.

[dagnabbit]

Incredible!

Arabic is a tough language to learn, but that's no reson to have to rely on the likes of these traitors.

[RightOnline]

Un-bloody-believable.

[chris1]

With the billions we spend, you would think we could get some of our own taught in Arabic.

[livius]

As a translator (not of Arabic) who has had contact with Arabic translators at various translation related events, I can assure you that it is true. It is also rather well-known in the translation world that this is a problem (and not only with Arabic translators - many foreign born translators are extremely anti-American, even though they live and work here).

Even Alfonso X, the 13th century Spanish king under whom the famous Escuela de Traductores flourished and translated works from Arabic, Hebrew and other languages into Latin, knew that translators could not be trusted. He had them work in teams of 3, 2 of them being native speakers who could be expected to check each other, and one of them being a native Spaniard who knew enough of the language to know whether the translation was reasonably accurate.

Relistically speaking, it is not possible to bring somebody to near-native fluency in six months, to the point where they could accurately translate highly idiomatic and often regional Arabic documents and transcriptions. However, it would be possible to teach American linguists enough in six months to a year so that they would at least have an idea of whether or not a translation was accurate or whether it should be extensively reviewed. They might also be able to scan documents for "pertinence" without relying solely on the judgment of the Arabic translators.

[PJ-Comix]

Remember those 3 Muslim students who were detained on Alligator Alley because a woman overheard them joking around about causing another 9-11? They claimed they said no such thing and that idiot Larry King believed them when they appeared on his show. I guarantee you that woman who turned them in was NOT LYING. I am absolutely convinced they were joking around about 9-11. A lot of those types have real chips on their shoulders.

Discussing this on Fox,showed a 9/11 shot."Translator traitors" is the the caption.

[Aquinasfan]

After she brought the alleged breaches to the attention of her supervisors, Edmonds was fired by the FBI.

Uh-oh.
