Dafka - FBI: Jews need not apply for Arabic linguist Jobs [View All]

Despite all of the problems that Sibel Edmonds has cited on the FBI not having sufficient competent linguists to staff the FBI translation, it would appear that many Sephardic Jews that apply to the FBI for jobs in translation are being passed by. Implications are that there are some underlying criteria by management that not only ignores incompetence, and doesn't look hard enough at questionable potential spies like Melek Can Dickerson, but perhaps this same management is using ethnic and religious prejudices to keep out otherwise qualified (and potentially more trustworthy applicants). Being Jewish of course doeesn't mean one is necessarily more trustworthy (witeness those in the AIPAC scandal for example), but the author does have a point with numbers here that perhaps they are being ignored when they might be very qualified.

FBI: Jews need not apply for Arabic linguist jobs
Despite shortage, loyalty issues, bureau snubbed 90 N.Y. applicants

Despite a shortage of Arabic translators, the FBI turned down applications for linguist jobs from nearly 100 Arabic-speaking Jews in New York following the World Trade Center attacks, WorldNetDaily has learned.

The FBI's New York office in October 2001 asked a local charity that works with Arab Jews to submit applications for the linguist jobs, which are crucial to anti-terrorism investigations.

But not one of the more than 90 applicants was hired, even though some had helped translate Arabic for Israeli radio and TV news stations and the Israeli army before coming to America, the charity's director says.

''We sent them a lot of people, and nobody made it to the finish line. Not one person was found eligible for these jobs, which is outrageous,'' said Doug Balin, director of the Sephardic Bikur Holim, a Jewish social-services agency in Brooklyn, N.Y.
