Al Qaeda Trying to Place Moles in British Intelligence

From the Daily Express:

Dozens of suspected Islamic fanatics have been weeded out after attempting to join MI5 and MI6.

They were identified by the vetting process applicants go through over six to eight months.

The success in exposing the moles has underlined the dangers faced by the security services as they seek to recruit more Muslims.

Assuming that most of these would be Mohammed Philbys are British citizens, wouldn't trying to penetrate British intelligence agencies be considered treason? The article doesn't mention any arrests. Are they simply being let go to toddle back off to the nearest extremist mosque?

And how many of these mutts are applying to (or already working at) the FBI or the CIA?

Thanks to a tip from "Lucky."

2 I am currently in the process of trying to get in some sensitive positions with the US government and the reality is that most of the vetting would not amount to treason but merely the suspicion that they would not be worthy candidates for said positions. That said...they will be watched.

3 The background checks that agencies like the FBI conduct are so thorough that they practically know know what breakfast cereal you had when you were six years old. I think these jihadis have watched No Way Out too many times.

5 You could cut down on a lot of moles trying to infiltrate if you took the first one you caught and put him in front of a firing squad or on a hangman's noose.

7 After listening to the Senate and House vetting of Ruby Ridge, Waco, the FBI love trysts with Chinese spies, and all the f''n CIA and FBI  moles found out in the last 30 years, how could anyone expect that our politicized "Intelligence Organs" will do any better visa vi Al Qaeda.
