#1 If the reports by Dubai police are correct, the assassination and surveillance team of nearly 30 agents so far exposed would represent a sizeable number of Mossad agents who would no longer be able to engage in covert espionage.....

....in the ME, at least for a while. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2010.

#2 no covert op would have more than a half-dozen people involved - that's why they're covert. The stories of 20-40 with DNA and fingerprints are fantastical. Ima thinkrn the Onion has branched out

#3 photographs were doctored so that the agents could not be identified. Details such as eye colour or contours of the nose and lips were altered slightly to make it difficult for facial recognition software to identify the individuals, Haaretz said

That makes sense since they obviously knew all the cameras would identify them. Movie quality latex masks?

#5 "Mossad . . . allegedly killed the Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel this month"

The international MSM keeps writing that, but the only people arrested by moslem Dubai so far (AFAIK) have been from Hamas.

Hmmmmmm.
