A highly confidential document that belongs to the head of the Syrian general intelligence agency leaked out to the Internet. It had a thorough discussion of the Syrian authorities' strategies for dealing with the protests. Following is a translated excerpt from it: "In the case of violent confrontations between army units and protesters, it is required to issue a clear order to cease all fire from the side of the army, with the order not being applicable to trained Security Forces, and 'Secret' and 'Black' units, and to use snipers within these units in a non-apparent way to prevent the localization of the source of the fire. For more camouflage: There is no problem in killing some soldiers and officers of the army, as this is useful in increasing the animosity of the army towards the protesters." wow, do you have a link?
it sounds like the way a despotic government would look at the situation, stops protests without it looking like the government is calling the shots, it also makes the protesters look violent.
