Malicious Syria Bashing: Part I

It's longstanding. It began long before Obama's war erupted. It was nearly three years ago. Releasing a new report on Syria was strategically timed. It's out two days before sham peace talks begin in Montreux, Switzerland.
It's filled with spurious accusations. London's Guardian discussed them. "Syrian regime document trove shows evidence of 'industrial scale' killing of detainees," it headlined. Syrian officials face potential war crimes charges, it said. A so-called "huge cache of 'evidence' (was) smuggled out of the country." "It show(ed) the 'systematic killing' of about 11,000 detainees."
Three former prosecutors for the Yugoslavia and Sierra Leone criminal tribunals examined so-called evidence. They're state-sponsored ones. They lack credibility. They include Desmond de Silva, Geoffrey Nice and David M. Crane. The report was prepared for London solicitors Carter-Ruck and Co.
It's marked "CONFIDENTIAL." It's available online. Confidentiality is shared with anyone wanting the report's full text. Manufactured evidence shows "emaciated, bloodstained," mutilated corpses. They could be from anywhere. They could be US-supported death squad atrocities. Blaming Syria for their crimes is standard practice.
So-called independent prosecutors and human rights groups have no credibility. London's Guardian lost credibility suggesting otherwise. So-called documented abuses are fake. They have nothing to do with Syria's government.
