Assad released jihadist Zahran Alloush from jail June 2011--part of effort to taint uprising https://t.co/kvIm2Ri25V pic.twitter.com/pSkSorCAg0

Interestingly the link in the first tweet goes to an NYT piece by Anne Barnard which the Angry Arab described as:
A moving tribute to moderately polygamous, moderately sectarian, and moderately murderous, and moderately Salafite Zahran AlloushThe link in the second tweet sent only five days later goes to a more realistic biography of Alloush written by Aron Lund for Syria Comment.
It seem that Roth's opinions are more influenced by the latest piece he read than by case-based analysis. Or does it depend on which sponsor is more ready at this moment to shuffle big money into his pockets?
