At the very outset, when John Kerry said, in effect, “Trust me,” rather than adduce any convincing evidence that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the Aug. 21 chemical attack, Robert Parry smelled a rat. In a relentless string of 15 or so articles, he pursued this story in a way no other journalist did. Do a quick search for “Parry and Syria” on the consortiumnews.com website and peruse this remarkable record.
Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, too, has a not-too-shabby record. Here are links to three corporate memos warning Gen. Dempsey and President Obama himself. Links to three other relevant articles penned by Ray at the time are also included.
