Snowden Document Shows One In Five Individuals Applying For Jobs In U.S. Intelligence Agencies Had Ties To Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah…


You have to imagine at least a few were able to obtain jobs without being detected.

WASHINGTON - The US government suspects that individuals with connections to al-Qaeda and other hostile groups have repeatedly sought to obtain jobs in the intelligence community, the Washington Post reported Monday.

According to a classified document, the intelligence agencies reinvestigate thousands of employees a year to reduce the threat that one of its own may be trying to compromise closely held secrets.

The CIA found that among a subset of job seekers whose backgrounds raised questions, roughly one out of every five had “significant terrorist and/or hostile intelligence connections,” according to the document, which was provided to the Washington Post by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

The groups cited most often were Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda and its affiliates, but the nature of the connections was not described in the document.

Accepting a resume is a security risk? That guy is an idiot.

The CIA is always wrong. No exceptions.

Maybe the CIA is running ads in Muslim media so thay can get copies of all the Al Qaeda resumes?

“Over the last several years, a small subset of CIA’s total job applicants were flagged due to various problems or issues,” one official said in response to questions. “During this period, one in five of that small subset was found to have significant connections to hostile intelligence services and or terrorist groups.”


Isn't it awesome when websites so accurately represent material?

Now where did I just read people poking fun at the notion of 'phobia'? This, this article right here, turning what the CIA said, into 1 in 5 of ALL CIA job applicants... that would be the sort of phobic twist to information that makes people shake their heads.

No wonder the Us is going bankrupt. You can't even trust your own security so you have to have layers of security to spy on the security. Man it's got to be a bloated organization.

Actually in view of what the CIA needs, it doesn't appear all that strange
if they needed to infiltrate the terrorists they would need candidates who
had a knowledge of the opposition. What makes this a story then?

"Get" to be mod? You mean there's a line-up of people who volunteer their time to babysit a bunch of over-opinionated, belligerant geriactrics? Hats off to him, I say.

...clowns fill-in your own blanks and hidden words and ooooooo...scary stuff.

Yup, that pretty much describes the way the source twisted the CIA's words.

Fear sells. They've obviously found an eager market.

Yes, your sources are liars, and you spread the lies, then duck responsibility by claiming you were just quoting.

That's much more insidious.
