"Another source familiar with the interviewing process says the FBI was concerned that many of the applicants were ''too close to Israel,'' and might lack the objectivity to accurately translate the Arabic recordings and writings of Muslim terrorist suspects under investigation. "

Would that our military be more concerned about our Gitmo translators being 'too close to Islam'.....
