Crime of the Century

In case you missed it -- it was published last Monday, July 23 -- Robert Fisk's "I traced missile casings in Syria back to their original sellers, so it’s time for the west to reveal who they sell arms to" is worth reading. Fisk comes across TOW missile casings in an underground room in East Aleppo that had been occupied by jihadists, and he tracks them back to the U.S. government.

This was a story known from the beginning, mentioned by mainstream reporters down in the weeds of their dispatches -- that the Salafis had Western-supplied weaponry in abundance. I think it's a strong candidate for "crime of the century."
