Openly recruiting Arab Americans is nothing new , the CIA has been doing it since the onset of the war !
With all the recent incidents surrounding Dearborn , The Crazy Imam Luqman abdullah , Who the FBI Justifiably Took out ! And lately countless connections of terror related incidents , Supposed peaceful Muslims trying to buy Shoulder fired Missiles , And countless links to muslim orgs that ship money to Radical Islamic Groups ! .
And let us not forget the latest peacful Muslim , Nadil Hasan .
Saying that does it sound like a good Idea to go to the Heart of the Muslim American Community And recruit these people ? Even when they are openly saying they have a problem with America !
DEARBORN, Michigan (Reuters) - At Tuhama's Lebanese deli in Dearborn, and at bakeries and barbershops throughout town, it's no secret the CIA is looking for a few good spies.
"There is a lot of talk, and nobody likes it," said Hamze Chehade, a 48-year-old Lebanese-American, taking a bite of his chicken shawarma.
In dire need of agents fluent in Arabic, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has made an unusual public show of its recruiting effort in Dearborn -- a city of 100,000 with the densest Arab population in the United States.
The agency has bought full-page ads in Arabic-language newspapers and it is rolling out TV ads aimed at luring Arab-Americans and Iranian-Americans to spycraft.
But despite a weak economy and high unemployment, the CIA will find it hard to hire here, residents say. Many see U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East as misguided and anger over the perceived mistreatment of Arab-Americans runs deep.
It won't be easy to win hearts and minds here, they say.
"If anyone goes, they would be just going for the money, not following the heart," said Chehade, a cabinet-maker who immigrated from Lebanon 21 years ago.
CIA recruiters said the agency sorely needs speakers of Arabic and other languages due to the intensifying insurgency in Afghanistan and the continuing U.S. occupation of Iraq.
"Obviously, with the wars going on in the Middle East, that's really on America's radar," said Henry Medina, who is in charge of CIA recruiting in the Midwest.
"We're going to recruit that knowledge, that language, the linguistics, the cultural nuances that are critical to fully understand the foes and enemies," said Medina during a briefing for reporters who were shown the agency's new ads.
Sounds like the CIA is looking to help the enemy within !
