US Spies on Syiran Border
By Micah Halpern

Friday September 7, 2012

I've Been Thinking:

The Associated Press has reported that the United States is bolstering its presence on the Syrian Turkish border. The report explains that the new manpower positioned on the Turkish side of the divide is composed of spies.

The job of an intelligence operative, aka spy, is multi dimensional.

In this case they are there to advise and help the rebels who are fighting Bashar Assad's better armed and better trained official forces. The spies are also there to monitor how al Qaeda is infiltrating into the rebel forces.

There are reports of as many as 25,000 al Qaeda fighters in Syria fighting against Assad.

That is a huge number given that the total number of rebel fighters is only between 60,000 and 70,000 strong.

Spies try to do their work undercover, that is, without anyone knowing who they really are and what they are really doing. News outlets do their work by investigation and uncovering what is supposed to be kept secret and hidden. Hopefully, the US spies will carry out their jobs as well as AP carried out theirs.
