AFP: Some Translators Quitting after Death Threats

AFP is reporting that some translators working for the Coalition have received death threats accusing them of being collaborators, and have quit their jobs as a result.

The US civil and military administrators in Iraq seldom know Arabic and lack of Arabic has been a major contributor to misunderstandings that have turned deadly in cities like Fallujah. Depriving the Coalition of its translators would blind it further.
