Wanted: Spies who speak Arabic

[dArKeR]

As a senior at Berkeley, 21-year-old Carly decided to enter the family business: intelligence. “I didn’t want to be an analyst, either,” says Carly (not her real name). “I wanted to do field work — to be a spy.” Before she heard back from CIA, however, one of her father’s colleagues, himself a senior intelligence official, sought her out, warning her that her youthful good looks, rather than her mastery of foreign languages or her excellent grades, would be viewed as her main asset. “He basically said it’s likely they would want me to ‘make friends’ with terrorists — to sleep with them,” she says. “I’m patriotic, but I would have been more comfortable assassinating someone than sleeping with them.” Thus ended Carly’s romantic notions of espionage.

 THE NEED TO reinvigorate “human intelligence,” as Washington euphemistically refers to the men and women who go undercover as espionage agents, is one of the mantras of the post-9/11 intelligence debate. But Carly’s experience illustrates one of the many dilemmas facing the nation as it tries to rebuild the kind of large network of American agents that roamed the planet in the early years of the Cold War: getting qualified people to risk their lives as spies is not easy.
       “It can be frustrating, grueling, painstaking work,” says Ralph Peters, a former military intelligence officer whose writings have a huge following in espionage circles.

This also touches on our previous discussion of 'Foreign' figters in Iraq which I say is complete Bush Crime Family lies to try to justify Iraq is now a terrorist place so we have every right to continue butchering the Iraqi people. It is absolutely impossible 'foreign' people are being accepted into the Iraqi resistance. Excuse me, maybe the American public has shown their stupidity by supporting The Bush Crime Family but I'm sure these Iraqi resistance is NOT stupid. They wouldn't NOT accept any foreign person into their ranks for fear they would be spies.

Who's Fighting Back in Iraq? (Taped radio show) These guest experts also thought it's unlikely to have foreign fighters in Iraq.
