Sleepless in Beirut…

This night, the Lebanese got lost between the moon and New York City.

The news is trickling in. The United Nations has decided to release the long awaited Mehlis report to the world. The Lebanese all over the world are awake and following with suspense the information coming in bit by bit. Journalists are doing on-the-spot translations of the 100 page documents. People are waking each other up to watch the news. It seems Syrian and Lebanese high officials are involved. Significant live information are coming in to the Oohs, the Ahhs, and the I-told-you-sos of Lebanese households everywhere.

I can’t write more, Shaza omar from LBC just mentioned that president Lahhoud got a call on his cell phone just 3 minutes before the Hariri assassination. Fares khasshan is spilling his guts on Future TV. Aljazeera’s Ghassan Bin Jiddo is trying to sound balanced, Gebran tweini is gloating on LBC…

I will need your help on this one. There is continuous coverage on TV and I need to catch up some sleep. Please use the comments section to post bits of information, reactions or analysis as they come. If you read or hear something that is significant, please let us know. It would be great if you could mention your sources. If you have a personal opinion or analysis, you’re also welcome to share it.

Good night.
