MEMRI: Assad Tampers with New York Times Interview: One Message to Americans, Another to Syrians
A Syrian journalist, on a Communist web site, accuses the President of Syria with managing the news. Evidently Assad redacted several paragraphs from the Arabic version of his interview with The New York Times. This wouldn't be the first time that an Arab leader said one thing to Arabs and another thing to foreigners, and nobody would know the difference who didn't speak Arabic and check the translations. But for a Communist to be making such an accusation certainly smacks of hypocrisy.::Submitted for your wild man in the desert [Genesis 25] files.
