verifying data about Syria

"But the United Nations, which has been saying for months that the death toll has exceeded 100,000, announced on Tuesday that it had decided to stop updating its own tally, at least for the foreseeable future, because of the problems in verifying information." The paper does NOT tell you that this is the second time when the UN has decided to stop updating its own tally. Mark my words: it will again update its own tally.  Western governments want that.
