It is Syria. no one knows except that he was arrested in the first of July! Charges unknown!!! where is he?? unknown! why? unknown but knowing enough dictators, i bet it will be something like "compromising security of the state" usual charge, if not "conspiring against the state" more serious charge! may be the real reason is that with his Android articles he pissed someone in power who sells iPhones... (it is a joke, but in these states, it can be a real reason to be detained)
Assad oppression of Syrian people continues... UN Agency Says 10,000 Refugees Disappeared from Syrian Camp Tuesday, August 16th, 2011 - A U.N. agency says as many as 10,000 Palestinians have disappeared after fleeing a refugee camp in the Syrian port city of Latakia, where government security forces have carried out days of deadly attacks. See also: US: Syria Crackdown on Dissent is 'Abhorrent,' 'Repulsive' August 15, 2011 - The Obama administration said Monday that it is pressing countries to cut financial ties with Syria in the face if what the State Department calls an abhorrent and repulsive crackdown on dissent. The monitoring group Human Rights Watch said it is time for the Arab League to push for an end to the violence.
Maybe the Palestininians are all in the football stadium. Thousands were taken there. Are there armed gunmen in Syria? Shipments of arms were confiscated coming from Lebanon a few times. Are other countries and entities arming and paying thugs to cause havoc? Just like they are doing to us in Egypt. Maybe Assad is telling the truth. Maybe if he let in the International Press we could get the truth. Maybe other regimes are trying to overthrow this regime like they are trying to overthrow the one in Libya. I dont know what to believe. But one thing is for sure I am not taking any notice at all what comes out of the White House. I would believe Turkey years before I would believe the USA.
the US and co should stay out of this, let them handle their own mess. If we intervene we are Western Crusaders, if we do not intervene we are not taking responsibilities, its a loss / loss situation. Might as well pick the cheapest solution. Ignore it.
