TODAY’S MESOP EDITORIAL : How the Internet defeated Seymour Hersh

eurabist / 14.4.2014 – Seymour Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter, has re-opened the discussion on who was behind the Chemical Weapons attack in Syria. Hersh argues that Turkey supplied the rebels with these deadly weapons in a ‘false flag operation’ designed to create the legitimisation for military intervention.At first sight, this looks like exciting investigative reporting by an icon of free journalism. A closer look, however, reveals the work of a twentieth century reporter whose methodology has become heavily outdated and perhaps even unreliable. Hersh’s story is based on a single anonymous source – rumoured to be F. Michael Maloof, a former George W. Bush Defence staffer.

SoZ: Josef Daher über das Scheitern der Genfer Friedenskonferenz und die Lage in Syrien

EINE ERFREULICHE AUSNAHME IN DER DEUTSCHEN LINKEN (MESOP)

Sozialistische Zeitung (SoZ)  : «Kein Komplott, sondern Teil der arabischen Revolution»

Die Friedenskonferenz zu Syrien («Genf II») mit ihren zwei Verhandlungsrunden vom 23. bis 31.Januar und vom 10. bis 15.Februar 2014 ist ebenso ergebnislos auseinandergelaufen wie Genf I am 23.Juni 2012. Ihr Ziel, eine Übergangsregierung aus dem Assad-Regime und der Opposition zu bilden, war nicht durchsetzbar. Die syrische Revolution geht weiter, aber sie ist auf einem Tiefpunkt angelangt.
