Pelosi Pal Continues Crackdown Against REAL Democrats

BBC:

A Syrian court has reportedly sentenced a leading dissident to 12 years in jail for undermining national security after he visited the US. Kamal Labwani was arrested in 2005 when he returned to Damascus after meeting US officials in Washington.

The White House and State Department have called on Syria to release Labwani and stop harassing reform advocates. The verdict follows the jailing of human rights lawyer Anwar al-Bunni, signalling a continued crackdown. ... The verdict was announced as President Bashar al-Assad was addressing the Syrian parliament.

He said Damascus would not co-operate with a UN-backed tribunal to try suspects in the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri if it would undermine Syrian sovereignty.

ASIDE: THE FIRST FOREIGN DIGNITARY TO MEET WITH SARKOZY (HE WAS WITH CHIRIC)... SAAD HARIRI, RAFIL'S SON. INTERESTING, NO!?

MAYBE WE WILL CRACKDOWN ON ASSAD.... BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
