Thank you for this. Dead on, as usual. The ‘most charitable’ view of Mr. Haq’s unfamiliarity with basic facts on Syria is, as you beautifully sardonic understatement, imply, is absurd. Of course he knows. It is another of those inconvenient facts, like the Israeli nuclear weapons program, that cannot and will never be acknowledged by the US or any of its stooges. The fact that Haq was forced to at least refuse to answer in the context of the death of a US contractor and wounding of 5 US servicemen IN SYRIA is, indeed, some fine journalistic work. It would be nice if this exchange had ‘resonance’. In other words, if it was followed up on by our tribe of lowly syncophants. The execrable Ted Koppel used that word as part of an explanation that was perfectly circular about something or other back when he was pioneering late- night propaganda on network tv before cable grabbed the model and ran during the America Held Hostage show that debuted in 1979 on the US version of ABC. Or, maybe, more recently. Why are you not reporting on that? It doesn’t have ‘resonance’! How does ANY story get ‘resonance’? By being reported on and stayed with, of course. It’s just amazing. Or, should be. Thanks again.
