#2 I watched the video of the teams and IMHO they wanted the authorities to know what had gone down. Why? To make every arms or supporter of Hamas nervous about their safety.

Exactly, Sarge. If you find your horse's head in your bed and you have no idea who did it the act kind of loses it's power.

Mossad wants to be known as brazen, effective assasins.

#4 Robert Fisk? Did he ask for another beating? Jeebus, if the authorities, reporters and intel agencies put this much effort in, say, stopping terrorists, we might be safer

#5 Until there is actual evidence that Israel did this, I remain open to the possibility that it was someone else, and that Israel is just hewing to their long-standing principle to neither confirm nor deny. Really, those other countries are going to look awfully stupid if it turns out to have been someone else who did it. Legitimate passports with real diplomatic papers? Something very strange is going on, using resources that, were they Israel's, Israel ought to have reserved for someone a good deal more of a threat than some Hamas weapons facilitator...eg. Iranian president Ahmadenijad.

#6 Everyone keeps blaming Israel, but the only people who have actually been arrested (AFAIK) are Hamas-niks.

Hmmmm.

#8 You find ignorance and laziness everywhere. Take this closing line for example:

Dubai authorities have also said that the assassins used Austria as their base of operations, and also used at least two US-issued credit cards.

Now, unless I'm woefully mistaken, the Fed doesn't issue credit cards (aside from acts of congress and financial panics), and certainly not to individuals.

So, I expect what this article means is that the cards were issued by banks located in the US. Ok, fine, let's play with that logic. Let's say they were issued by Citi. We all know who owns a huge chunk of Citi, don't we? Yes, our friends the Saudis. Ergo, is Dubai claiming that KSA had a key role in this affair?

Just saying. Your results may vary.
