The fluctuations of Lebanonese nationalists: I have been reading the 1999 book, `Amud Al-Milh by Faris Khashshan. It is incredible: you have to read what this most rabid pro-Hariri, anti-Lahhud propagandist had to say, only a few years ago. In this book, the author defends all the symbols of the Security Order that he now gets paid to attack: Jamil Sayyid, Emile Lahhud, etc. In this book, he defends all the security measures and court orders that were isssued against `Awn and Ja`ja` and company. Don't be surprised if 3 years from now, this same Khashshan becomes (again) a propagandist for Syrian intelligence in Lebanon.
