Nice article, Austin, and thanks for finding it and posting it. The "Three Stooges" angle resonates with me, not because I have any expertise on Mossad or others things Israeli -- far from it -- but I do know that the Mossad has been recruiting a lot recently. This runs in some parallel with the massive and explosive growth of 'intel' worlds here in the US, with the CIA recruiting on campuses again, with the incredible growth of the Homeland Security and fusion center 'movement', and the generalized decline in individual intelligence, competence and capability -- the dumbing down process -- as is evident in almost all of American culture. I think it has something to do with the quality of training and education; the Empire is so furiously trying to put out "product" that they can do little but make a copy of a copy of a copy. Whether it is the cashier at the convenience store, the typist handling the bottom-of-the- screen crawler entry on TV, the editors of news outlets, or the idiots who come up with underpants bombs, the quality of workmanship is in great decline. We are grateful when it applies to black ops and assassinations -- hey, we have the infamous potato-chip hijinks of the Embassy guards under private contract as an example too -- but it is, as the article suggests properly, not a laughing matter when we consider the powderkeg of the Mideast and Southwest Asia. Suddenly, competence matters... along with morality and a grounded awareness of the consequences.
