I read and scan world newspapers. Here is one excerpt along wit the URL. Even Syrian officials now profess themselves at a loss to know what is happening in their country. Is Mr Assad really in charge? Or is Syria being run by a clique of powerful intelligence officers, like Algeria? Tomorrow’s party con- gress may provide some clues. Bashar wants to restrict party leaders’ power and rid himself of the tired old men who have dominated Syria for so many years, but he will not be able to break the strength of the intelligence services. The best advice for President Assad came last weekend from his wife, Asma, who told an international women’s business conference in Damascus that "only corruption flourishes in the dark". If Uncle Rifaat turns up to "rescue" Syria, we will all be back in the dark again. selvesandothers.org
