Stop the presses. The Syrian National Council is getting money

It is hilarious that supporters of the Syrian National Council around the world still stick to the propaganda line that the Council is funded purely by Syrian people's donations.  Well, the supreme leader of the Council (deputized by the Muslim Brotherhood which wants a civil face for its shop), Burhan Ghalyun, admits that they are getting "Arab and foreign" money.  However, as you know is the habit with oil potentates, they only offer money if no strings are attached.  It is a matter of principle for Saudi ruling dynasty.
