He is a fellow at the Center for potato studies at the University of Maryland and has testified before US Congress (you know how much academic knowledge you need to be invited to testify before US Congress?). He is interviewed by Now Hariri:
On inside knowledge of Shi`ites: "When I speak to Shiite friends, some are more than willing to say (and I paraphrase), "fine, we'll accept Iranian protection. They are the only ones truly protecting the Shiites."".
On the status of Christians in areas controlled by Syrian rebel groups: "Don't let me give you the wrong idea, there are some rebel controlled areas which provide effective security for Christians."
I read the interview and learned about Hizbullah and Zionism what I knew not before.
