Yesterday evening on NPR there was an interview the official Syrian Office of Information (or whatever) mouthpiece. She was such a pathetic shill for the regime it was embarassing. Responding to charges the army has been attacking women and children in a particular area, she said that was not possible because the army was not there! She went on to say many of the insurgents are wearing army uniforms. Oooookaaaaay.... and the insurgents are driving army tanks and flying army planes and helicopters too, right? Sickening.

(AFP) – 1 hour ago RIYADH — Yemen's beleaguered President Ali Abdullah Saleh, wounded in shelling of his compound in the capital Sanaa, arrived late Saturday in Riyadh for treatment but has not stood down, a Saudi official said. "President Saleh has arrived in Riyadh for treatment, but he will return to Yemen," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity. Saleh has refused to give up the power he has held for nearly 33 years despite four months of angry and violent protests against his rule. He arrived aboard a Saudi medical aircraft while a second plane carried members of his family, the Saudi official said. His son Ahmad, commander of the elite Republican Guard, remained in Yemen. Saleh was immediately taken to the capital's military hospital, the official said.
