ANKARA. The so-called Free Syrian Army is trafficking the body organs of Syrian civilians and army soldiers after kidnapping and murdering them, media reports said. The FSA rebels in Syria trade the body organs of the Syrian martyrs whom they abduct and kill. Then, they sell the stolen body organs to organ traffickers at expensive prices, Turkish newspaper Yurt wrote.
The newspaper’s correspondent in Syria has shed the light on heinous events and violations regarding the organ trafficking by FSA terrorists.
“Most of the Syrians abducted by the armed groups are killed, and then gunmen trade in their corpses through removing their kidneys, eyes and liver,” the daily quoted a Syrian citizen as saying.
It added that the Syrian citizen underlined that “unknown persons contacted him and offered 300,000 Syrian Pounds in return for handing them the body of his brother who was martyred at the hands of terrorists”.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

wasnt that the same story that was leveled at the UCK and IDF? starts too sound as the anti-imp version of the baby out of incubators hoax...

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

Just because it sounds the similar. We should look if there are facts that can proof or disprove wether or not this is a hoax or not. We shouldn't dismiss it because it sounds the same. During World War 2 many didn't believe gas-chamber stories because they sounded similar to the hoaxes of world war 1. My point is that we should judge it on facs not sound.

It's important to note that we shouldn't oppose the FSA based on it's human rights record. After all, a genuine revolutionary organization will have to commit a thousand more crimes to sustain its self since it won't have any foreign backers. Though I am suprise how little drug dealing and hostage taking the Indian Maoists have done and what they have managed to accomplish, but that's probably the exception to the rule. A revolution in America would probably last years and result in the death and displacement of tens of millions, so let's not play into the liberal humanitarian argument.

This is more for the people who champion the FSA as better for the masses of Syrian people than the current government.

Of course this is a good argument to level at liberals, but the problem is if we make our primary argument about who is being meaner in this conflict, well then we end up siding with the FSA. While this is a good point, our primary argument should be based on a consistent approach to Anti-Imperialism and out of a skepticism of what these groups intend to achieve once they topple Assad.

Just like the KLA in Kosovo

Well i don't know about this but its known that the FSA steals medicine to sell on the black market.

Generally people who support the FSA are basically liberals.

Generally people who support Assad are not communists..

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Assad, one's gotta be pretty gullible to think the FSA are "the good guys" or worth cheering on.

I figured after Libya turned out exactly how everyone critical of the rebels said it would, people would be a little more careful about cheering on pawns in proxy wars v:mellow:v

[CORRECTION IN BRACKETS] To me it seems like geopolitical time has ground down to practically a standstill because of the diplomatic morass that the U.S. is caught in around Syria -- fans of the empire are probably peeved about having to sit on their hands for the time being after enjoying such a lightning-quick blitzkreig in Libya.

Maybe the only significant difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that there can't really be a 9/11 on Obama's watch, because the Dems are not *quite* as hawkish as the right-wingers. It's right around this time in economic developments that people's attentions should be getting diverted away from the ongoing dire reports about the U.S. homeland situation, but they're not, so the pacing feels "off".

Maybe celebrity culture is enough for most U.S. nationalists in this period, but I can't help but look for the moment when they'll get disenchanted with the [proverbial 'bread-and-circuses' and rethink on what more society could be about.]

Far be it from me to oppose drug dealing or consumption, but I wouldn't suggest it something fit for a revolutionary group to undertake. It would result in discrediting itself in the eyes of the populace, a la FARC.
