#1 I intended only to ask snarkily whether Amnesty International was up to anything USEFUL for a change.

Well, I decided to search for "Lebanese" over on their site. I found a vaguely worded reference to "at least two commissions" (neither named) looking into this sort of thing. They asked that appeals be sent to a Minister of Justice in Lebanon and to (and I am not making this up) President Bashar al-Assad "welcoming the creation of this new committee and urging them to ensure that: it is as independent and credible as possible..."

I'm not sure if that counts as useful, since the lastest entry was dated August 24 of last year. Maybe they are crafting a follow up. Maybe they're applying for visas to visit Damascus.

Real Soon Now.
