Cicero of Syrian National Council: he argues that war criminals deserve Western assistance because they are...war criminals

You have met Cicero before. Here, he comes up with a brilliant scheme: he argues that Western assistance to the Free Syrian Army is essential because--not despite--it has committed war crimes:  "Indeed, the KLA committed deplorable acts in the 1990s, like enlisting children, just as the FSA has been recently accused of committing crimes in a report by Human Rights Watch. But this serves only to highlight the importance of international assistance to the FSA, in order to ensure that they comply with international human rights standards and war conventions."
