Really pleased to see it getting attention lately. Its a fine line with these causes to draw people to action without overwhelming their audience. Hope they succeed.

This kind of "warfare" has been used by warlords/dictators for at least the last 30 years. Odd that there is a big uproar about it all of a sudden.

Actually he is supposed to have fled to Egypt back in 2006. This does make you wonder why this particular piece of propaganda has been released now unless it has something to do with them finding oil there.

After the Iraq war, its not hard to see that as a possibility, but the current political climate against interventionism seems at an all time high.
