clumsy reporting on Syria

Anne Barnard and other Western reporters writing on Syria clumsily write (based on what they are told by March 14 stringers and contacts in Lebanon) that Hizbullah is now announcing the death of its fighters in Syria.  The situation is more complex.  They do now announce that so and so (and the numbers have been far less than in the ridiculous claims by Syrian armed groups) died performing his (no women allowed in Hizbullah's sexist struggle) "Jihadi duties".  But yesterday, there was an interesting situation: a Sunni member of the Hizbullah fighting team in Qusayr died and he was to be buried in the Sunni new cemetery in Sidon but the Sunni Ikhwan and Salafite forces made a fuss and refused to bury him.  His family had to agree to bury him in a Shi`ite cemetery.
