   As Ben Hubbard reported for AP, the rebels are, sadly, also responsible for brutal atrocities against soldiers who fall into their hands. This is making soldiers more determined, and probably making the revolution more difficult.

     These soldiers deserve the death penalty because they are killing children, women and men, raping women the rebels are defending themselves. How can you compare between them and the criminal gang Bashar al-Assad soldiers. Peaceful revolutionaries and the free Syrian army is the truth Army of Syria and the criminal gang of Al-Assad worth what happened to them because that killed they Syrian people to protect one dirty man.

   I don't see any bias in Bill Neely's reporting. Violence begets violence...those that started this vicious cycle will face either heavenly or earthly justice. Brutality is the hallmark of the regime, The Hama Massacre of 1982 is all the proof that is needed to identify the culprit in todays bloody events.

   Already this year, more than 70 journalists have been killed worldwide, simply for doing their jobs:
