Well, Judge Cohn in the Detroit Federal District Court let Hezbo sister, marriage fraudster and former CIA and FBI translator, Nadia Nadim Prouty go without not much of a slap on the wrist. Either he doesn’t get it, or more likely there was a deal cooked up with Federal prosecutors to spare embarrassment to both the FBI and CIA for not having caught her earlier.

The comment posted to this Detroit Free Press article on this story says it all about the translator scandal and our ‘broken’ counter terrorism apparatus.

Last night during an ACT TownHall forum with more than 1,400 ACT members, executive director Guy Rodgers cited findings from a nationwide scientific survey. One of the questions dealt with bias in favor of hiring Muslims as translators for the FBI and other federal national security agencies. More than 69% of respondents in the survey indicated that discrimination against hiring qualified Christian, Jews and apostate Muslim translators should be a priority for Congressional attention. Given the results of Judge Cohn’s ruling yesterday, it doesn’t appear that our government viewed Prouty as ‘unreliable’ given the facts to the contrary. We trust that Rep. Sue Myrick, author of the laudatory “Wake Up America” agenda and perhaps, Senator Joseph Lieberman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will get the import of both yesterday’s Detroit Federal court decision in the Prouty matter and the findings from the ACT national issues survey on the translator scandal released last night. A Congressional investigation into this matter is long overdue. As suggested by Rep. Myrick this requires what we have argued for, a GAO audit and hearing on the translator hiring discrimination and scandal.
