B- NATIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND THE CLOSE  INTELLIGENCE CIRCLE OF THE UNITED STATES  GOVERNMENT:  

The FBI and the CIA failed miserably in:

1- Recruiting effective and well-trained foreign agents;

2- Recruiting and training potential agents and operations officers from the United States;

 3- Recruiting and/or hiring "areas and regions" experts;

4- Collaborating with the experienced military and intelligence observers of our allies and friendly countries.

 Both agencies, the CIA and the FBI publicly claimed that they lacked effective human intelligence on the ground and in the field. The fact is that, many experienced and qualified individuals (and clean like a whistle) who have applied to the CIA and to the FBI were totally ignored. I know for a fact that many American-foreign born citizens with outstanding credentials,  fluency in many foreign languages, including Arabic, Farsi and Urdu, an unsurpassed knowledge of the region (Middle and Near East), documented expertise in Syrian, Lebanese, Iraqi, Palestinian politics, internal affairs and socio-politico-demographic regional events who have offered their services to the CIA and to the FBI in Washington, D. C, Miami, California were  turned down or  completely ignored by the CIA and the FBI. Sometimes, they were turned down for some stupid and alarmingly choking reasons such as:

 

1-This or that applicant is not a member of the established American intelligence community;

2- This or that applicant has no contact with people or groups from the inner circle of the administration;

3- This or that applicant is highly overqualified and the agency could not afford to pay him or pay her;

4- This or that applicant is of a French background, and consequently, she or he could not be trusted;

5- This or that applicant has a very strange and suspicious long name;

6- This or that applicant has something bizarre about him or about her, because the applicant's social and educational backgrounds as well as multidimensional foreign cultural and social activities seemed too much European, too much foreign, too much ethnic, too much un-American or not “American enough”.
