The Death of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh



You have to wonder what kind of professional assassin gets caught on dozens of CCTV cameras tailing their suspect and then leaves their mugshot in an airport immigration database to be disseminated across the global media.... were these people just shockingly slack or is the plan here to flaunt the audacity of whichever gang they work for ?

I keep hearing that Mossad have form on when it comes to identity theft, and they don't really have any honour when it comes to adhering to promises not to exploit the identities of allied nations, so in light of such ethical ambiguity; why are our government trying to rebrand the headline into "our passports aren't as safeguarded as we thought" when the really what we all wanna is why "our allies aren't as honourable as they claim" ?

On a lighter note - the faces of the assassins are priceless, Its like looking at the casting notes from a Wes Anderson flick. Quirky doesn't even begin to describe it. I particularly like the way they've been grouped into lines by which ever newspaper nicked the photo from....

Top line - Basement Nerds: Talking serial numbers
Middle batch - The Neural Three : Executive controllers
Lower tier - The Enforcers : Kosher ninjas

John le Carre would be proud.......
