#1 Does this make sense to any of you mil intel types? I can't tell who is spoofing and who is serious here. Doesn't make sense to me that the AIVD would reveal all this under any circumstances. Seems like it helps Iran, Syria, Russia, et. al. more than anyone else, so why talk about it unless you're with them?

#2 Have to throw the BS flag on that one. While they do have an excellent commando facility on the Island of Texel, I doubt the Dutch have either means or the motivation to undertake such an endeavor. While scanning The Telegraaf, I did find an interesting article on Russia providing police training to Afghani police.

#4 Not sure I can take this seriously...didn't Dutch intel say that Van Gogh will definitely not cut off his ear?

#7 If the Dutch had anyone planted in there, he was probably Indonesian. The Dutch are still pretty tight with them.

#8 I immediately assumed that if there were actually a Dutch agent present that they were probably attached to a commercial vendor / construction company working on the nuclear program. Odd story though, it just sounds a bit off.
