Addendum (13 December 2009): Some sources are attributing to me information about Majd al-Assad that I deny. The only information that I have about him is published on my website and comes from the report on SANA, which I copy below.

Norman I don’t think it would be appropriate for us to discuss details of his health on this day.

Looks like SyriaComment has had good training for the Moukhabarat. Censure as mush as you like…..
I reflect the opinion of the silent majority and the ones who are rotting in Syrian jail for just expressing their openion and nothing more.

Censure me again, but like Thomas Friendman said on censure. “Those who censure have no future.”

Good Luck Folks
