The inexplicable release of a secret tape between Rafiq Hariri and chief of Syrian intelligence in Lebanon, Rustum Ghazali (it is inexplicable because such a release would be inadmissible in court in the US and because Hariri secretly taped his guests in his house) in the Hariri international kangaroo court in the Hague is quite stunning. It so refutes all the claims about the conflict and tensions between Hariri and Ghazali. In the tapes, and contrary what has been alleged for the last decade, Ghazali is quite respectful and even courteous toward Hariri, and the latter is quite kind in kind. It really is essential every time you read Western media claims based on Hariri propaganda claims. The Hariri paper, Al-Mustaqbal, was clearly embarrassed by the release and tried to spin the content in a most bizarre way.
