"“The fact that the Russian government is relying on this woman’s
assessment of what happened just shows the lack of evidence for their
case,” said Lama Fakih, a Syria researcher for Human Rights Watch. “She is not a military expert.”" Now while I don't disagree with what Lama said, but she would not dare make a public statement against the speculation on chemical weapons by opponents of the Syrian regime. Just as the nun gave her assessment (without having facts), there are many in Lebanon and Syria who work (for a fee) for the GCC regimes who gave very similar bogus expert opinions on the matter but I don't recall that Ms. Fakih commented publicly against them and dismissed them as not being military experts.
