syria incidents

I've just finished reading an incredibly moving letter. This is the last part, the whole thing is moving. This guy was someone who I would have been proud to call my friend. He's right you know, this battle is more important than most people understand. And his understanding of these issues...

I first posted the following couple paragraphs in the main Syria thread, but decided it merits its own space. I'd like to start with the x-ray, and expand into other evidence to see as clearly as possible what's actually happening to whom, where, when, and why. Obviously, not just pregnant women...

This recent and perhaps painfully un-murky incident came up in two threads where I brought it up, before deciding it deserves its own. As it stands, we've heard a fair amount already about the Aqrab massacre of December 11. But obviously, as usual, not enough. Actually, there's some small...

U.N. accuses Syria forces of crimes against humanity Now even the Arab League has turned against the Assad regime. He still has allies in Iran and Hezbollah though. And what's going to happen if/when the regime falls? It's hard to imagine there won't be reprisals when children have been...

Al-Jazeera reporter Dorothy Parvaz was recently detained by the Mukhabarat, Syria's secret police. She was eventually deported to Iran, and then back to Qatar (AJ's based there). She wrote about her experiences for Al-Jazeera...It's not pretty. I can't help but think of the thousands of...

Although there are probably more interesting things for the MSM to focus their headlines on, ( http://www.miamiherald.com/776/story/417315.html ) this particularly-spectacular incident caught my eye. Hezbollah arch-terrorist Imad Moughniyah killed in Damascus by car bomb...
