U.S. Liaison to Syrian Rebels Refuses to Answer Questions - After Seeing Interview Questions

Syrian Support Group chairman Mazen Asbahi’s Facebook page shows his affection for the U.S. and international Muslim Brotherhood network. 

The Clarion Project - The main liaison between the U.S. government and the Syrian rebels has declined to answer the Clarion Project’s tough questions and that should be of concern to all Americans, no matter where one stands on American involvement. The Syrian Support Group originally granted us an interview, only to be denied once the questions were sent. Since then, we have found additional links between the group and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Syrian Support Group (SSG) says it stands for a “free, independent and democratic Syria.” It is acting as a go-between for the U.S. government and the Free Syria Army (FSA), a loose collection of Syrian rebel forces. It is passionately lobbying members of Congress to support U.S. military intervention and is based only blocks away from the White House.

Its website says it “is the only organization licensed by the U.S. government to provide financial and non-lethal support to the Free Syrian Army.” Last July, the State Department granted the SSG an exception to provide “services otherwise prohibited.” The first deliveries of U.S. aid to the FSA came through the SSG.   More
