Charles Levinson has a couple of links to the Arab press that purport to add a bit of data to the (small) pile of info we have on Israel's Syria strike. The first, that defecting Iranian general Ali Reza Asgari gave Israel info, is plausible. The second, from Kuwait's Al-Watan newspaper (who has often printed quite colorful cartoons, btw), that America "provided cover" for the raid, strikes me, as a commenter points out, as the typical Arab "the Israelis couldn't have done this by themselves" reaction -- though the US certainly knew what was happening.

[illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here
