Help wanted - the CIA
Curious -- from
The Washington Times:
CIA finds 1 in 5 flagged job applicants come from Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda
An estimated one-fifth of a subset of all applicants for Central Intelligence Agency positions had significant ties to the terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah and al Qaeda, a newly released document from NSA leaker Edward Snowden�s collection revealed Monday.
The document � released by Mr. Snowden as part of his National Security Agency intelligence dump � said the terrorist groups worked hard to infiltrate America�s top security agencies. CIA officials uncovered thousands of applicants, roughly one in five of a subset, with �significant terrorist and/or hostile intelligence connections,� the document states, as Ynet News reported.
The editor needed to do some work here, it is not 20% of all applicants, it is 20% of those flagged for one reason or another.
Still, these are people with known links to terrorist organizations. This shows me that the CIA (and the rest of the government) are failing to understand what kind of asymmetrical war we are fighting.
