They set out to find the origins of the Syrian Free Army, and find out what life is like for ordinary citizens who are most affected by the bloodshed.

If you have Russian language skills or know someone who does it can be seen here

I emailed NTN for a transcript and have not received a reply yet.

When listening to the sound bite interviews that are conducted in major media if you listen the new common thread is "I want peace. I wish things were as they were before." The reports even on Al Jazeera today are saying at Aleppo, the people throw broken glass at the Syrian Free Army and called on Assad to free them from their   revolutionaries.

As I post this another reporter has been kidnapped. She is from Ukraine. She is being called a spy. Her kidnapping is also on YouTube.

This is a Free Army? I don't see the difference between the Mexican Drug Army and this army America's politicians love.

The only upside to the Free Syrian Army is their insistence on recording the evidence. Both they and their collaborators can be charged with war crimes at The Hague; the rogue elements that sold them weapons and provided material support for the cause of terrorism.

The very media that whole heartedly embraced them are along with the European and American governments taking a step back from their freedom fighters as word of their atrocities gets out for fear of being forever tied to them in history.

It is not a matter of politics. It is a matter of humanity.

If it is grief when it is someone else then there is a chance we are human too.

If not then it is our humanity collapsing with the rest of our world.
