If that's the case, then he's the man (Franklin). Arabic is one of the toughest languages on the planet for a Westerner to learn--especially the reading and writing part. Let's not even talk about dialects... That's part of the reason they did this project in the first place, was because of a shortage of trained translators with a clearance to go through all this stuff, and they needed to shift those guys to current, actionable intel.
As for Bortnyk, anyone who's a tanker can't be too bad either.

RE: Resources
Actually, Franklin speaks Arabic, and Bortnyk, despite all his flaws, is a pretty damn good tanker. Anonymous coward, mind your tongue when talking about your betters.
