One Kossack regularly posts Assad regime talking points in comments to my diaries on Syria. In my last diary he did this with eleven separate comments to my one diary His the total verbiage in those comments was much longer than my diary and this Kossack has yet to write a single diary of his own.
There's no way I have the time to respond to all of his postings, so I'll take one.
One of his comments to my Sunday dairy repeated one of the newest and most graphic false charges made against the Free Syrian Army by the Assad regime:
There are atrocities being committed by BOTH sides (0+ / 0-)This video only surfaced on Sunday and it was posted to a comment in my diary "hot out of the oven" before anyone had a chance to investigate and respond. Well,, now they have and below the fold, I'll tell you what they found. [warning graphic violence]
Since you always link to videos showing atrocities by the regime, I'll add one by the FSA.
WARNING - GRAPHICFSA terrorists let child behead unarmed prisoner with a sword - GRAPHIC !

Today EAWorldView has this report on the video:
Assad and friends create these false attacks against the opposition, which has been reported to include even staged suicide bombings, because they realize that just such "muddying of the waters," especially with regards to international public opinion, is essential if non-interference with their murderous policies is to be maintained.Questions About the "Boy Beheads Two Regime Officers" Video
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 9:56 | James Miller
Yesterday we noted a claimed video of a group of men and a young boy beheading two men who were reportedly "Alawite officers" involved in the Houla massacre.
The video was reportedly taken on Sunday, provided to a journalist by a "commander in Homs".
By the end of the day, however, activists were claiming the discovery of footage, posted on a pro-regime YouTube channel months ago, that apparently had some of the images in the beheading video which emerged yesterday:
@brown_moses Old video. Appeared for the first time on pro regime channel youtube.com/watch?v=rWBpG5…
— ?????? ???? (@FreeSySoldier) December 10, 2012Screenshots of the two execution videos first @zaidbenjamin's "Dec 09" post second from youtube.com/user/syriatube… on Nov 26: twitter.com/Guardian_Mario…
— Mr. Green (@Guardian_Mario) December 10, 2012An observer who circulated the beheading video initially stood by the claim that it was taken on Saturday morning, but later he amended this from "sources", to say the incident occured on 22 October in the al-Khalidiyah district of Homs.
That "clarification" fits with the report of Zilal, an activist who is associated with the opposition CFDPC, that the images --- taken in October --- first appeared on a programme of Sama TV, a pro-regime television channel. More...
So please forgive me if I have been a little hard on the people that peddle this kind of "report" in the comments to my diary, but I consider those that go out of their way to do this as accomplishes to Assad's mass murder.
