My Way News - Tear gas, batons thwart Syrian march on capital
My Way News reports: "Tens of thousands of protesters shouting 'We want freedom!' made a bold march on the Syrian capital Friday, but security forces beat them back with tear gas and batons as the country's monthlong uprising swelled to the largest and most widespread gatherings to date, witnesses and activists said."

Comment: Very surprised at Assad's restraint, it must mean he feels secure enough to allow such demonstrations to continue.
