[quote=jsteele]I thought about the "recruited out of high school" point and came to the conclusion that she is a native speaker of Arabic, Pashtun, or another Middle Eastern language. I don't know about Pashtun, but Arabic has lots of dialects and can be very localized. Someone who was fluent in the proper language would be a lot easier to teach how to be a CIA analyst than it would be to teach a CIA analyst the necessary language skills. It would be a lot better for an analyst to be able to read and understand communications intercepts and so on first hand rather than through a translator in order to better pick up nuances. On the other hand, Maya is a common name in the Middle East and it would be sort of a give-away if she is really an Arab. I assumed that she must be a blond-haired, blue-eyed Anglo named Sue or something and "Maya" was meant to mislead. But, maybe that's what they want me to think? [/quote]
