Kim Sengupta joins the Syrian armed rebels

"We gave some of them a lift to the Sahar district, in the outskirts, where minibuses were lined up to take people out of Aleppo."  Well, well, well.  Just imagine the uproar of Kim had given "lifts" to fighters from Hamas or Hizbullah? Can you imagine the reactions of the Western media? Can you imagine how many journalistic ethical committees would have been formed to investigate this lapse of judgement?  But why the pretense?  I mean, why not call things by their names.  Western reporters in Syria and Lebanon are part of the media department of the Free Syrian Army.  That is how they see themselves.  (thanks Amer)
