#1 He first wrote a letter to supervisors in April 2003 saying that Arabic phone calls and letters from suspected and convicted terrorists were going "unmonitored due to a lack of Arabic speaking staff."

Great. Two years later and a few Congressmen and a backwater of the MSM have taken note. Anyone ever think of cutting off there arabic communications until there are translators available? That would certainly rate a front page somewhere! Howsabout we transfer 'em to Gitmo? (Well, yeah, there'd have to be some funds change hands, too.)

#2 I cheaper solution might be to prevent incarcerated terrorists from communicating other than to their lawyers.

#3 Beat me to it, SH.

Better watch the lawyers, too, considering the 5th columnist Lynne Stewart.

When is that bitch going to jail?

#4 The cheapest solution might be to prevent incarcerated terrorists from communicating at all. But, for those of us who can't stomach that, how about just branding their foreheads with "T" and throwing them overboard off the shores of Yemen or Somolia.

#5 The way to deal with these terrs is to set them free on Howland Island together with the perverts who molest children. Once a month air drop supplies, if there is any sign of life.

The government should also pass a scholarship program that provides a free ride if you major in Arabic and become fluent. Just a regular student loan if you don't attain fluency.

#9 Tell me again about the Arabic speak Jews the Feds won't take on as translators because we are afraid of hurting feelings...

#10 C_L - we gotta follow the PC rules, yes? No matter how much it hurts, even until the death. How silly.

When in doubt as to whether a post took, pop up another window (or another tab, if using Firefox) and check the comments. Most of the time the machine swallowed it, and is simply tardy in dispensing an acknowledgement.
