MCLEAN, VA. - The U.S. is its own worst enemy when it comes to the desperately important task of recruiting immigrants as spies, analysts and translators in the war on terror, new Americans are telling intelligence officials. The government's policies raise suspicions and fear in the immigrants' home countries and disturb potential recruits in the U.S. who might otherwise want to help. The U.S. knows it needs the help. At the heart of a Friday summit with immigrant groups was a stark reality: The intelligence agencies lack people who can speak the languages that are needed most, such as Arabic, Farsi and Pashtu.

I wonder who coined that famous phrase:

We will use your Democracy to destroy your Democracy.

That what many radical Muslim clergies were preaching to their followeers in Mosques throughout EU.

these agency has had some success within the Iranians in LA. They have recruited Kurd and some younger Jewish individuals to become listeners to our conversations / translators.

These groups are very proud of the fact they have joint these agencies. they will tell you flat out with pride.

What does this say about background check process when you are becoming a US citizen.

The English call it redundant.

Please help us understand your culture and heritage better so that we can grind it into dust with our bombs and sanctions. The CIA/FBI/Pentagon can F off.
