Yahya Al-Aridi is the official spokesperson of the Syrian "revolution" in the delegation of Astana

I saw him in 2005 on TV, when he was the head of the Syrian regime press office in London.  I wrote this about him at the time.  He is now a spokesperson of the "revolution"? He was the epitome of the Syrian regime "shabbih".  Why is it that some of the worst faces of the Syrian revolution seem to have defected (not that there are no bad faces who stayed with the regime).
