Targeting MCI, as part of countering broader IRGC ventures in Syria, is an obvious place to start. – The Cipher Brief
Josh Rogin reports: The Syrian defector known as “Caesar,” who brought the world the largest trove of evidence of mass atrocities perpetrated by the regime of Bashar al-Assad, is returning to Washington this weekend. Three years after he helped expose some of the worst war crimes of our generation, the victims of those crimes are still a long way from getting justice. – Washington Post Frederic Hof writes: Six years of suffering for Syria and its people are six years too many.

The consequences of leaving it unbridged will be dire for all concerned. – Atlantic Council
