"...the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an organization that monitors
casualties in the country, said it has confirmed 502 deaths, nearly 1,000 fewer
than the American intelligence assessment claimed.
Rami Abdel-Rahman, the head of the organization, said he was not contacted by U.S. officials about his efforts to collect information about the death toll.
"America works only with one part of the opposition that is deep in propaganda," he said, and urged the Obama administration to release the information its estimate is based on." (thanks Regan)
