The name is Bondam, Jørgen Bondam

You don't have to have a cool James Bondish name like Jørgen Bondam (Yeah, I know its corny, but I couldn't resist) to become the new Danish Intelligence hero.

Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste (the Danish Defence Intelligence Service) is looking for field operatives. Education is not that important - but you must be willing to take responsibility for others' lives. And of course it would be best if you speak Arabic or Pashtu, have knowledge about the Middle East/Central Asia, are interested in Security Policy and can mix up a nasty dry martini (ok, I made that one up).

On a more serious note: it is a very interesting way to go out and beef up HUMINT capabilities - but also highlights just how much in a predicament Western services are at the moment to get people that would be able to provide relevant information.
