somebody needs to explain this to me

Why do "fighters" of Hizbullah and "members" of Iranian Revolutionary Guards only confide in the most anti-Iranian and pro-Israeli Western journalists?  What is the reason, really?  Look at this:  "Iran is sending commanders from its elite Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and hundreds of foot soldiers to Syria, according to current and former members of the corps."  And notice that former and current members came to this guy and told him over drinks that yes they are sending fighters.  (thanks Dina)
