For Surveys about Syrian opinion, Anne Barnard has the answers

"In a poll taken by a Facebook group for civilian opposition activists called Tahrir Souri, or Syrian Editors, more than half agreed with this description of Geneva 2: “It’s better than expected, and maybe we will get something out of it.”"  So according to Anne Barnard, a survey by an opposition website showed satisfaction with the opposition.  I mean, what do you say to that? Does she know that surveys of regime websites show satisfaction with the regime?

PS If Barnard knows Arabic--which she does not--she would have noted that the word "tahrir" has double meaning: editing (not editors) and liberation.
