Linguistic competency Do you speak Arabic or Farsi? If you meet certain other qualifications, you can now spy for the FBI, whose homepage takes more care than news reports did and specifically lists Pashto, spoken in Afghanistan, as one of the desired language proficiencies.

This is a very informative post. I just finished a conversation with my Lebanese co-worker who had explained to a friend that Afghanistan isn't primarily Arabic.
