Originally posted by DrKFI heard a bit of this story on the tv from the perspective on one of the people who's identity had been borrowed. Had the passport pictures not been looked at?
A death squad from Iran today entered the US using stolen/forged passports from a number citizens of European countries with dual-Iranian citizenship and, while there, assassinated an Iranian citizen, a dissident from the Tehran regime visiting the US.
Thoughts?
People will use any means to get their goals achieved, is my thoughts on this, and if they can use other peoples identity then they will.

"Imagine for a moment what the reaction would be if Iranian intelligence was almost unversally believed to have assassinated a leader of one of the organisations fighting the Tehran government in a western-friendly state. Then consider how Britain, let alone the US, might respond if the killers had carried out the operation using forged or stolen passports of citizens of four European states, including Britain, with dual Iranian nationality"

Originally posted by sh76There's no link, he's trying to make a statement of some sort. It seems he's dissatisfied with the reaction on terrorists being assassinated, so he's trying to probe if people would be unhappy with citizens being killed by their own governments inside the U.S. I really don't see how you can compare the two situations, but perhaps he'll enlighten us.
Link?

"1.(uncountable) The act of plagiarizing: the copying of another person's ideas, text, or other creative work, and presenting it as one's own, especially without permission"
This is clearly not plagiarism. The OP is a hypothetical question. I am sure it has been asked by people standing around hundreds of thousands of water coolers the world over. No wonder the question was in the Guardian. It was in the local paper here too, using different words of course. It's an obvious question to ask in any debate about what Mossad may or may not have done.
