I understand we have been turning down Jews who speak Arabic for CIA recruitment. And recruiting Americans who are ethnic Arabs.

This whole "5th Column" area has the potential to cause us a lot of trouble. We are our worst enemies due to our PC.


I think I could recruit some reliable folk out of Iraqi and Syrian populations in Detroit.

If the CIA is passing up qualified Jews then it's probably making a mistake.

For a long time the outfit was awfully white bread in its hiring so mistakes are possible, I suppose.

"We are our worst enemies due to our PC."

Couldn't agree more. And some of the excellent articles
you have posted here over the last couple of days only
reinforces it further.
