talkpolitics“Two Turkish pilots were captured by the Syrian Air Force Intelligence after their jet was shot down in coordination with the Russian naval base in (the Syrian city of) Tartus.”
From: http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/09/29/240805.html
A day prior Al Arabiya alerted their readers they were going to release some classified Syrian military documents. I can't honestly say I was expecting this.
This has the potential to be very bad indeed. If Russia is implicated in the shooting and execution of NATO pilots the implications will be ahh, interesting.
Al Arabiya’s exclusive series on the newly-leaked Syrian security documents continues tomorrow.
Oh great. I can't wait.
Whilst Russian military contracts (c4.5 billion) and their naval base have obviously been a factor in their support of the Assad regime and their refusal to support sanctions (let alone peacekeepers), this really does bring their behaviour into a new light.

I also have to note that the TV presenter doesn't exactly present the stereotype of Saudi woman in public space..

Date: 1/10/12 06:31 (UTC)Of course, when I raised that on another forum, a conspiracy theorist said "What, does Wikileaks have something about UFOs in it?".
Like I said, an optimism.

Date: 1/10/12 11:31 (UTC)Claims to the contrary have more to do with pompous apathetic types who enable government as a coping mechanism for reality wanting to trivialize & dismiss wikileaks disclosures in the way some religious fundamentalists trivialize scientific evidence suggesting the world isn't 10,000 years old in order to twist reality to their own pre-conceived views than it does anything else.

If the public doesn't care & there's no public outcry or embarrassment for the fact that it happened, there isn't likely to be anything done as a result.
