"At the end of three months we the foreign students were speaking much better and many were told their accents were undetectable. "

Do you really think accent is enough?
Autant des hommes. Autant d'avis.

And why would one trust any of these instructors after this notice?

Accent is not really the issue. Translation is. We got off on translation because I drew attention to the Defense Language Institute.

I think DOD has got the covered. Why they hired translators fromt he Middle East I do not know unless it was to recognize voices or cultural things not understood by a trained translator.

I would also wager there are plenty of Arab-Americans as well as Iranians in the USA who are itching to revenge themselves on the criminals back in their homelands, who would verify the translations.

The story is not unlike alot of stories in the immediate aftermath of 911. We saw and heard many accounts of foreigners and foreign students that commented that America was "getting a taste of their own medicine". I also saw this televised among our own kids in public schools, usually kids of color who had been taught to think of America as a country founded by old dead white Christian males. I attribute all of this to the rein of the Clintons and their cultural influence on America.

Hey Dio, this really isn't breaking but by the sound of some replies it's probably good that you brought it to the newbies attention. Why do I have this feeling in my gut that somewhere in the upper management level of the FBI someone wants to see the destruction of America. This isn't the first time either. It's almost if someone is deliberately undermining any effort to stop terrorism.
