Mr. X/Noureddine Malki: The Perpetual Risk (& Likelihood) With Muslim Translators
I'm constantly being told by Pan-Islamists about all of the Muslim Arabic translators and soldiers we have and how patriotic and dedicated they are to America.
Actually, their numbers aren't so large, and their patriotism, well . . . . I think the many stories we've had about Muslim soldiers--from Wassef Ali Hassoun (who faked his kidnapping in Iraq, went AWOL, twice, and is now on the NCIS Most Wanted List) to Assan Akbar (who shot at fellow American soldiers in the name of Islam) and a host of similar others (Ahmad Al-Halabi, Ali Mohamed, Ryan Anderson, Semi Osman, John A. Muhammad, Jeffrey Leon Battle, etc., etc., ad nauseam)--makes the case otherwise.
The latest story--about Army Arabic translator Mr. X a/k/a Noureddine Malki a/k/a Almaliki Nour a/k/a Abu Hakim a/k/a Abdulhakeem Nour--makes the same case, ie., that we must be suspicious, instead of bending over backwards to welcome those whose co-religionists around the world (and here) are openly bent on our destruction.
The story of the Muslim Arabic translator Mr. X--we don't even know his real name--is chronicled in an AP report in New York Daily News, which I strangely didn't see in any of my print newspapers.
Mr. X/"Malki" deliberately hid information about insurgents, their location, and the location of their weaponry. By doing so, he knowingly cost American soldiers their lives. Plainly, this Muslim translator is a mass-murderer of Americans. Even worse, he is believed to have provided classified Coalition Forces intelligence (which he illegally downloaded) to insurgents in the Sunni Triangle. Again, he's a mass-murderer.
More incredible is that this man was allowed to become a U.S. citizen and a translator despite professing allegiance to Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks. Prosecutors have made no attempt to strip him of his citizenship, which was likely obtained under false pretenses.
He should be given the death penalty (a little torture first would be appropriate). But, instead, he'll only do a maximum of 60 years . . . if we're lucky. Who is responsible for hiring this man? That's another person who should be tried, if it can be shown he/she knew of the man's open loyalty to Al-Qaeda and hatred of America. If so, that person is an accessory to mass murder.
More:
A former Arabic translator for the Army in Iraq pleaded guilty Wednesday to illegally possessing secret documents detailing the 82nd Airborne Division's mission against insurgents.Among the documents was a report with precise information about U.S. weaponry and targets, court papers said. Another document contained "information about 82nd Airborne strategies for interfacing with various tribal groups in Iraq," the court papers added.
The defendant, who goes by the name Noureddine Malki, also pleaded guilty in 2005 to using an alias, Almaliki Nour, while becoming a U.S. citizen. Authorities say his true identity remains unknown.
He faces up to 60 years in prison for both charges, prosecutors said. No sentencing date was set.
U.S. Attorney Roslynn Mauskopf said the case demonstrated the importance of "safeguarding military plans and intelligence."
The 47-year-old defendant, who had been scheduled to go to trial next week, "fraudulently obtained security clearances and then stole classified military information," Mauskopf said in a statement.
Using his false identity, the defendant was hired in 2003 by a contractor as a translator and interpreter for an intelligence unit of the 82nd Airborne stationed in the Sunni Triangle, authorities said. After he returned to the United States, authorities discovered the documents - some marked "secret" - during a 2005 raid on his Brooklyn apartment.
While entering his plea in federal court in Brooklyn on Wednesday, the defendant admitted he knew he was not authorized to have the documents and made no attempt to return them, said his lawyer, Mildred Whalen.
The defense attorney said her client did not address a motive. She declined further comment.
In a memo filed last week, prosecutors had warned that if the defendant professed his loyalty to the United States at trial, they would present evidence that he supported al-Qaida and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The evidence included propaganda downloaded from the Internet to his computer, the memo said.
Prosecutors also said they would argue the defendant "had an opportunity to provide stolen classified information to anti-coalition forces" because he was in phone and e-mail contact with people in the Sunni Triangle, including Sunni sheiks who gave him thousands of dollars in bribes.
"Religion of Peace." "Loyal Americans." "Very Patriotic." Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Thanks to reader Kent for the tip. He writes:
His true identity is unknown? What the hell was he doing having any access to anything without having been vetted?
Amen. Why? I think we all know the answer: Political correctness in favor of Muslims--at the cost of safety and security.
It'll kill ya, every time.

Very distressing. This punk should be waiting his turn at the gallows, and the bozo responsible for hiring him should be fired already.
God save us from the fools among us, and from the enemy they ignore.

I heard at one point that loyal Israeli-Americans had signed up to be translators but were denied an opportunity from the FBI, I wonder if this was true.
THIS IS ENTIRELY TRUE, EXCEPT THE PART ABOUT THEM BEING ISRAELIS. THE FBI REJECTED OVER 100 JEWISH ARAB-SPEAKING U.S. CITIZENS FROM THE SEPHARDIC JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF BROOKLYN, WHO APPLIED TO BECOME TRANSLATORS. I KNOW SOME OF THEM AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM. ONE WOMAN, ORIGINALLY FROM LEBANON, IS A U.S. CITIZEN AND PASSED ALL THE TESTS WITH A 100% SCORE. DITTO FOR HER BROTHER. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE FBI AGENT IN NEW YORK IN CHARGE OF THIS WAS AN EGYPTIAN MUSLIM, AND HE REJECTED ALL OF THEM.

So much for the liberal's cause to introduce diversity into the military.

I would think that Schumer or Peter King take an interest in the rejection of these LOYAL arabic speakers? Is this the same Egyptian agent who betrayed the US in Saudi during 9/11?
My old college friend was an Armenian from Beirut, many of which live in the US and speak fluent Arabic. Wonder if these guys get the cold shoulder too.
BTW: didn't see anyone discuss this story about Islamist penetration of Dutch army and assasination attempt on leading Dutch conservative politician (explosives from car-bomb came from army contact).

Dear Debbie;
Sixty years in jail is better than nothing. And who knows, maybe some patriotic serial killer will stab him with a sharpened toothbrush.
Sincerely;
EJO
P.S. Has S. Hannity apologized, or given you credit yet
