Who analyzes Syria for the New York Times

Look at this long article on Syria for the New York Times.  It takes its clues from recent Economist articles on Syria: they ask right-wing Lebanese supporters of March 14 to offer analysis of the Syrian situation.  This is like asking Iranian analysts to offer analysis on Israeli domestic politics.  But hell: Israelis are often asked to comment on domestic Arab affairs so it should not be surprising.
