Interesting interview with Patrick Seale about Syria, contrasting strongly with the "Homs Under Siege" lead-in. I was struck by yesterday's CNN "World" page featuring a photo, which I saved as http://tinyurl.com/cnnworld2-6-12 , that supposedly reflected "rocket attacks" by the government, but which, as you can see, shows only two truck tires which had been set on fire by, I would presume, the "freedom fighters."
Better information about Syria than DN or Al Jezeera (representing Qatar) can be found on rt.com , presstv.ir , and globalresearch.ca .
