How do these people get cushy government jobs so easily?

1. Minority hire (keeps government regulators off back and lessens
likelihood of lawsuit for hiring discrimination)
2. Have person on staff that speaks foreign language (who knows
when that will come in handy)
3. Verification that the company/agency "values diversity"

And if the applicant is member of some other "protected class"
all the better.

I suspect that's how an Islamic fellow here in Columbia, MO
got on with the local water purification district (isn't that scary!?)
But thank goodness that didn't keep the FBI from raiding his family
home (as witnessed by my parents who live about 1/2 block away)...
as one of his associates provided a satellite phone for Al-Quida.
And he was running an "Islamic Charity" that was also shut down.
The guy and his family have been gone for over a year and not a word
has been uttered in the local press as to the disposition of the case.

It is gratifying to hear that actions are being taken behind the scene. I agree with PhiKapMom, thinking that the lack of publication of these things is a part of our government's efforts to keep us safe it is all that keeps me from thinking I'm losing my mind.

I had not thought of the PC requirements that permeate every part of our lives these days as being the way these people get jobs and infiltrate our very government, but it does make sense.
