This is the true nature of your Syrian "revolutionaries"--those are the pro-Western "moderates", mind you, not the Jihadi kooks

"An Italian war correspondent held captive by multiple armed groups in Syria has spoken of how he was treated "like an animal".  Domenico Quirico was freed on Sunday, after being held hostage for five months along with Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin da Prata.  In the pages of his newspaper, La Stampa, the 62-year-old described being subjected to two mock executions.  He said his captors were "mixed-up" men consumed by the pursuit of money.  Mr Quirico entered Syria from Lebanon on 6 April. He disappeared four days later near the city of Qusair - probably betrayed, Mr Quirico said, by members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).   Over following months he and Mr da Prata were passed from one armed group to another.  Such groups, he said, were trusted by the West but were in truth profiting from the revolution to "take over territory, hold the population to ransom, kidnap people and fill their pockets"...Paradoxically, he said, "the only ones who treated us with humanity were those closest to al-Qaeda", because they had an attitude towards prisoners - a code of conduct - that other captors lacked.
