Dubai's Police Chief

I watched an interview with Dubai's police chief on Aljazeera TV. The man does not deserve to be lionized or admired or praised. He did the minimum of his job and he was very effective indeed against the dumb Mossad hit team. In the interview, he strikes you as competent and intelligent and is fully aware of investigative work. He also challenged the view that the investigation was all based on electronic surveillance and said that there is a human investigative element, and said that he has Hebrew speakers among his staff. But what is bothersome is the extent to which he views himself as subservient, politically speaking, to the Sons of Zayid and to Sheikh Mo. He was so careful in everything he said not to offend Israel. He made it sound that this was the sole deed of the head of the Mossad. He even said that the Israeli public would not approve of such methods. He repeated the lousy statement that Israeli and others should settle their scores elsewhere, i.e., Israel can kill but not under his watch. He was so afraid and careful and deliberate about everything he said about Israel, which only confirms that I was told (based on a conversation with him) regarding political pressures on him to avoid embarrassing Israel. He spoke against the killing of Israeli soldiers. All in all, this skillful and dogged police commander is a tool of a lousy corrupt royal family which would sell its children to please Israel/US. Dont make this man a hero. He is not.
