Syrian defectors

I am dying for a Syrian official--at any level--to defect from the Syrian regime and NOT seek refuge in Riyadh or Qatar.  Such moves proves beyond a doubt that those are paid defectors, or mercenaries.  Also, if people defect out of outrage over the killing of civilians, are all defections not way too late by now?  If they had real conscience, they would have defected early on when demonstrators were being shot at.
