Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was a cheapo!

Says the travel agent of the late terrorist.

A Hamas leader assassinated during a visit to Dubai last month exposed himself to attack when he breached security protocol by talking about his trip over the phone and making hotel reservations on the Internet, the militant Islamic group said Saturday.
The Secretary General of Universal Union of All Travel Agents, Morton Fly Ing, in the tastefully decorated (Hallmark) "Thanks from the Bottom of my Heart" postcard sent to Mossad DG, has written:
Dear Mr Dagan,

In the name of all travel agents I want to express my gratitude for eliminating that cheapo, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was known as the kind of person that would rather walk and/or sleep on the beach than make a flight and/or hotel reservation via a travel agent and pay the agent's commission.

Keep up the good work, and I hereby confirm the existing arrangements re our discounted commission to Mossad, accumulation of MI6 operatives' mileage on Mossad account (let them figure it out, I say) and all other existing understandings.

With best wishes,

[Signature].
