Sleep Tight America, The FBI Is On The Job
Today the Associated Press reported the FBI has over 123,000 hours of intercepted wire taps and other audio recordings from terrorist investigations that have yet to be transcribed. To save wear and tear on your calculator, that is just over fourteen (14) years worth of audio!
Of course this follows after the stories of the Arabic-speaking Sephardic Jews who were denied translator jobs with the FBI because it was feared they were "too close to Israel" and the Sibel Edmonds whistleblowing scandal.
I knew there were problems getting competent translators who could pass some sort of security investigation but a fourteen year backlog? Now that's job security!
Perhaps we should shop these translations out to a legal translator operation I know of in the San Fernando Valley. The quality might not be as good but we would probably get results before the suspected terrorists dies of old age.
