haririkiri

* Michael Young @ Reason (and Lebanon's Daily Star) is a big fan of the Syria-did-it brigade wrt haririkiri. here he discusses some issues of the Fitzgerald report - but there are still some unsolved issues.

- that footage of the van that was splashed over the TV the other day was "1 minute and 49 seconds before the former prime minister's convoy arrived." - so it can hardly be said to prove anything

- "In interrogating the father of Abu Adas, investigators learned that the alleged suicide bomber couldn't drive."

- "members of the Hariri family have been privately talking about (the idea ) that the former prime minister was actually killed by not one but two bombs—one placed under the roadway, the other above the road and containing a flammable chemical agent able to permeate the armored protection of the cars in the convoy." remember, the report couldnt tell if the bomb was above or below the ground, but seemed to have evidence of both.

clear as mud.

i still refuse to believe that syria could have been so stupid...
