Several Syrians yesterday asked me as to why I posted for the first time Youtube videos and they were about torture by Free Syrian Army goons. The answer is simple. There has been evidence of crimes and torture by the Ba`thist regime since 1970 (and even since 1963 when the Ba`thists reared their ugly heads). And mainstream media in the West have been focused on covering crimes and torture by the Syrian regime: they have been doing that on daily bases. But there has been nothing in the Western media (until yesterday when the Human Rights Watch report came out) about crimes and torture by Free Syrian Army and affiliated organizations. I am not a newspaper and should not be judged accordingly. I do a blog and I try to cover what is NOT being covered by mainstream media. Otherwise, I would be parroting the racist Zionist standards of the Western press.
