Well here's a shocker for you.
Seems those Al Qaeda types we've been handing Stinger hand-held anti-aircraft missiles to in Syria have hijacked the uprising!
Yup, the Washington Post has the straight skinny.
Oh, where have we heard such insinuations before?
Here for at least the last six months.
Actually, Pepe Escobar was all over the mainstream media (well, not "all over" it, but closer than he normally gets...) a year ago with the story of Abdel Hakim Belhaj moving on to Syria now that Allah's and Uncle Sam's work in Libya was done.
He's not the only one who has been all over this story for at least a year.
Belhaj is either a really deeply embedded double agent or he has one of the most compelling stories in the history of the War on Terror.
He was renditioned to Libya at the behest of the Blair government back in the Qaddafi era. He was eventually released, turned up again in the struggle to overthrow that same Qaddafi who had just released him, and then was off to do God's work in Turkey.
In the meantime, on his R&R breaks he's huddling up with his London attorneys to fine-tune his lawsuit against the British government.
Like I said; the most compelling story of the War on Terror.
Or something else.
