CIA efforts to recruit Arab Americans hit snags - latimes.com

The CIA’s long-standing effort to recruit Arab Americans is hitting some bumps.
The agency yanked advertisements for linguists off the website of the nation’s largest and oldest Arab American newspaper on Sept. 8, reportedly because the paper had published a story about domestic spying on Muslims.
The CIA restored the ads to the newspaper, the Arab American News, based in Dearborn, Mich., last Wednesday after the paper ran an editorial questioning the CIA’s commitment to freedom of the press. The agency said it regretted “any misunderstandings.”
Then, on Friday, the CIA withdrew its recruiting and outreach staff from an Arab American Day Festival in Anaheim, which draws about 20,000 people. The CIA has paid about $10,000 annually to help sponsor the fair for the last four years.
