Please wait while I measure your nose!

Sorry for the lack of recent posts. The day job caught up to me a bit. Working on some new posts now. In the meantime, I could not retrain myself from passing along this little tidbit.

In the aftermath of the al-Mabbouh assasination, the Dubai police have been working overtime to rehabilitate their image and reassert control over their jurisdiction. The authorities in Dubai have now reversed course as one of the few Muslim countries to allow in Israelis (although, only travelling on foriegn passports. No Israeli passports permitted). How will they discern which travellers are in fact Israelis in hiding? Don't worry. It turns out Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan al-Tanim "knows an Israeli when he sees [or hears] one."

You know its a good idea when Hezbollah jumps on the bandwagon!
