Makes more sense than the other way to me. Wangkon -

The part concerning David Albright, however, was particularly entertaining. The story seems like a summary of what’s already been reported/discussed/blogged.

What Israel bombed was probably not a nuclear facility. 2. Because it wasn't a nuclear facility, Syria was pretty quiet about it. If they complain too loud, then it's because they lost something that was actually very significant. If they stay quiet, they take attention away from themselves but still have other people guessing. Seriously, it's kinda cool to have everyone not sure if you have nukes or not. Makes them second guess themselves without having to put your neck out in embarassment. 1.

Chris Hill giving his witness testimony. When asked about the NK-Syria connection, he simply stated that anything pertaining to that subject is classified. Additionally, when he stated that he has a very real concern for human rights and is working actively for refugees, I almost bursted out laughter like Ambassador Bolton's wife during his confirmation hearing.

Always a fascinating read, but takes a bunch of liberties with the truth too. His reporting on Lebanon has been particularly bad, particularly in the context of Syria. His "sources" have often turned out to be Syrian mouthpieces, and he's made some hilariously inaccurate claims about the allegiance of various groups in Lebanon. Ah, Sy Hersh.
