Liz Sly gives an objective assessment of Geneva

"Government officials have appeared tense, lecturing reporters, responding testily to blunt questions and accusing critics of supporting terrorism. In contrast, opposition leaders have been calm, assured and usually polite, aided by a posse of nearly a dozen mostly British media advisers."  It is hilarious to read almost the same words in the New York Times by Anne Barnard.  Liz Sly and Anne Barnard should be declared unofficial honorary members of the Syrian exile opposition.  Also, Ms. Sly forgot to add: that the only delegation that called on security to "remove" from the audience journalists who asked tough questions was the delegation of the exile opposition.
