Syria arrests prominent dissident (BBC, 1/29/08)
A prominent dissident and former MP, Riad Seif, has been arrested in Syria, local human rights groups say.He was reportedly detained for attending a meeting of supporters of democratic reform in Syria.
The arrest brings to 11 the number opposition activists detained since December, reports say.
George W. Bush will, unfortunately, be denied the Social Security reform he ran on twice, but there are still two big blows for liberty that he can strike almost single-handedly: immigration amnesty and regime change in Syria. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 29, 2008 8:57 AM
