Nicholas Blanford here turns Misbah Al-Ahdab into a hero. Left unmentioned is that Ahdab is now even discredited among March 14th Movement after the fiasco (search the site below) in which he allegedly ordered his own bodyguard to shoot at his house in Tripoli to attract attention and sympathy. The bodyguard was later found dead in his cell. Blanford does not know any of this. He is busy writing quasi press releases for Hariri Inc. And notice what impresses Mr. Blanford: "Still, Ahdab, a multi-lingual businessman from a prominent Tripoli family." That says it all. After all; he once praised the looks of March 14th demonstrators. (thanks Manar)
