“Hariri Supporters Stunned”

September 7, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

So guess whose testimony the Los Angeles Times used to come up with the headline: “Supporters stunned as Hariri says Syria didn’t kill his dad”?

You know I did try to qualify my position as much as possible to avoid precisely such dramatic headlines, but I guess nuance doesn’t good pageviews make.

One more thing: “Mustapha” with a quotations mark? I swear, that’s really my name..
