#4 So we have five dozen bad guys wandering around emplacing IED and arranging commo from within the installation. Living someplace, eating something for how long?
Iranian intel and security didn't notice.

#6 So the Iranians took him out -- they're the only people who could stage that large of an operation in Iran and escape notice of the Iranian security services.

So had they decided he was a turncoat? Maybe he was having second thoughts about the mullahs having nukes?

Or did they need a casus belli?

Can’t blame that scientist general for stoppin’ his car when he saw all that caperin’ in the road!, no indeed.

#10 Ha'Aretz is reporting it was a remote machine gun that killed him from 150 meters away. Then several minutes later the truck that was carrying the machine gun blew up. That makes way more sense.

#11 Yes but that story doesn't allow for the arrest of people the Iranian government doesn't like as Israeli agents.

#14 I hope John Brennan get's over his grief soon. Tough news for someone who hates infidels and Dar al-harb.
