Recruiting Arab-Americans For The CIA

So, the CIA is recruiting in Dearborn. Recall that after 9-11 tremendous pressure was brought to bear on Arab Americans especially those living in Michigan.

Reuters: CIA goes hiring in heart of Arab America

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 (Michigan) -- a city of 100,000 with the densest Arab population in the United States.

MSN: Is Michigan a Terror Stronghold?

Almost every major terrorist organization has operatives in Michigan, according to the report. Citing information received from the Detroit office of the FBI, the report says “most of the 28 international terrorist groups recently identified by the State Department… are represented in Michigan. Examples include such well-known terrorist organizations as Hizballah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Egyptian Brotherhood, Al-Gama’at, Al-Islamiyya, and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist organization—Al Qaeda.” The Detroit office of the FBI declines to comment on the report, which it has not yet reviewed, says a spokeswoman.
