Al-Watan newspaper

When I was in Lebanon, my Lebanon's cellphone rang. A woman identifying herself as a reporter for the Syrian Al-Watan newspaper told me that they would like to conduct an interview with me. I told her but that I express myself freely. I said that I feel that you want to interview me only because I attack the rivals and enemies of Syria but that I also want to criticize the Syrian regime and its allies in Lebanon and the Iranian regime. I asked if she would be able to allow me to express myself freely in the interview. She said: I will consult with my editor and get back to you. Still waiting.
