I don't recommend that the silly Hariri tribunal (a mere tool in the hands of US and Israel to exert pressures on Lebanon at Lebanese taxpayers expense) be covered in the media but this week we had a revelation: that members of the security detail of Rafiq Hariri all carried special laissez passez from none other than Rustum Ghazalah, the head of Syrian intelligence chief in Lebanon. This in itself exposes the hollow claims of the Hariri family and its paid advocates in international media about how Hariri was a brave crusader against the Syrian regime--but in secret, while continuing to heap praise on the regime to the last days of his life, in public. A member of the security detail said it was "natural" to carry a laissez passez from Ghazalah.
