The journalism of Nicholas Blanford: a regular feature of this blog

From Basim: " Nicholas Blanford's catch-all, everyone-under-the-sun sources:  According to reports and diplomatic and Hezbollah sources, the Syrian Army will be backed by Hezbollah fighters and hundreds of Iranian troops who were flown recently into the Hmeymim airbase south of Latakia, which has become the primary staging ground for Russia’s military intervention."

PS I have a suggestion for Nicholas Blanford to add more credibilty to his stories: why not attribute his reports to: "everyone in the world told me."
