Could one of the world's most notorious terrorist groups have infiltrated the U.S. government?

Obviously these people don't know how infiltrated our government has been over the decades...

this keeps getting worse

Heads should roll.

If nobody is punished, after leaking vital national security secrets to the press, or hiring political allies, or failing to do background checks on agents, then they will just keep doing it.

Ever since I joined FR, I’ve been pointing out that the CIA and the FBI are broken, and nobody in this administration seems to have any interest in fixing it.

Even if they don’t give a damn about the security of our country, you’d think they’d want to limit the political damage caused by all these traitors.

In some ways, the Plame affair was even worse than this, and that’s saying a lot.

Not only are the enemies inside the gate. They’re loosening the screws from the inside.

Unbelievable!

Someone really screwed up on this. But no one will ever have his/her hand slapped.

Pretty much the chance you have to take if you are going to rapidly ramp up an efforts that requires large numbers of people fluent in languages little spoken by older immigrant groups. It would not surprise me to learn that various government agencies were willing to overlook questionable immigration status to recruit such personnel.

And yet Clinton, who gave away massive amounts of US secrets to the Chinese, is walking free.

Yeow!

I seem to recall in the aftermath of 9-11 that Arabic interpreters working for the government were caught joking and laughing about the attack.

I further recall that the US had declined the services of Jewish Arabic translators because the Arabs already in government objected to working with them.
