Jobs available! Must be fluent in Ebonics.

I really don't know what to think about this article. Is this a solid, practical solution to a difficult problem? Or is this a cop-out, a way to hire otherwise unhirable people (in that people who speak English should understand the Ebonics dialect)?

From CNN.com:
"DEA wants to hire Ebonics translators"
