Is following two developing stories in syria and egypt. First, stern new reaction from the white house following reports that in the past 24 hours, the Syrian Government has killed more than 1,000 people using chemical weapons. Now, the attack centered on ten towns it and villages near damascus. We want to warn you the video thats come in has been very disturbing. Antigovernment forces say more than 1200 people have been killed, many of those reportedly children. The video provided by the rebels and not verified by nbc news shows people struggling to breathe as rescuers scramble to save lives. It also shows rows of bodies on the ground. The Syrian Government denies any chemical weapons were used. The white house says it is deeply concerned and trying to get more information. There actually happens to be a United Nations chemical weapons Investigative Team on the ground in syria. They were just granted access to the country yesterday, i believe. So given the reports that weve seen overn
13 membof the family members, e one of them representing the 13 People Killed in that rampage, will be allowed to speak to the panel. The government will also have some expert witnesses. The most important point is that prosecutors will be seeking the death penalty. The other option is life in prison. We do not know in nidal hasan will make a statement. He has that right. He has not said whether hell have any witnesses. He has said in the past that, and indeed he admitted in court that he was the gunman. He said he switched sides to protect islam. He has said outside of court that he shot soldiers to protect taliban leaders overseas. So he will have a chance to explain himself before the panel, if he chooses to do so. Well find out monday, perhaps monday, if he does that. If he does get the death penalty, legal experts say it will be quite some time before he would actually face execution because of the automatic appeal that would follow.

Month. Here in maryland, a family of four making 60,000 a year could get covered for as little as 164 a month. In texas, average 27yearold making 25,000 could get covered for as little as 83 a month.

That the assad regime is responsible for the use of chemical weapons on that night. Even iran, which is fighting on assads behalf in syria, has publicly blamed the assad regime for the august 21 attack. In addition to the intelligence pertaining to the regimes preparations for the attack and our postattack observations, it is common sense that the opposition does not have the capabilities to have carried out such a largescale rocket attack from a regimeheld neighborhood targeting opposition neighborhoods. Its worth also pointing out theres a great irony that in placement of an oped like this because it reflects the truly exceptional tradition in this country of freedom of expression.
