    SUBJECT: Damascus Media Reaction: Syria/Mehlis, Iraq (11/28)

    ¶1. Summary: The Syrian press reported President Asad's
    meeting with Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, Secretary General of
    the Saudi National Security Council, carrying a message from
    King Abdullah to President Asad.

    Syrian papers also carried the full text of the TV interview
    broadcast by Syrian TV last night with the Kurdish masked
    witness Husam Taher Husam, upon whose testimony German
    prosecutor Detlev Mehlis had relied. Husam totally distanced
    himself from his previous testimony and disclosed in detail
    the way Lebanese intelligence used him as a fake witness
    against Syria. He refuted Mehlis's report, which he said
    included "groundless" accusations against Syria.

    Husam added that the information branch of Lebanese
    intelligence raided his house after the withdrawal of Syrian
    forces from Lebanon and imprisoned him on a charge of
    involvement in a bombing in Lebanon.

    Husam went on to say that Fares Khashan, Hariri's advisor,
    visited him in prison, offering to set him free and to
    ensure him a luxurious life, plus a sum estimated at
    millions of dollars, if he gave false evidence against Syria
    and Syrian officers. The money was offered by Saad Hariri in
    one of his meetings with him. Husam spoke in detail about
    the plot already prepared to implicate Syria in the
    assassination through fabrication of lies, under the
    direction of Khashan.

    Husam also spoke in detail about the story of the Mitsubishi
    car which was used in the explosion that targeted President
    Hariri. He said the story was created by Khashan and one of
    the Lebanese intelligence elements. Husam said that Khashan
    fed him the Mitsubishi and other stories, such as the
    alleged phone call Husam received from one of the Syrian
    officers.

    Husam affirmed that all Lebanese politicians he met with,
    such as Waleed Junbulat, Marwan Hamada, Ghazi Aridi, Gubran
    Thweini and Saad Hariri, who took part in the game, offered
    him large financial inducements, adding that he was
    subjected to immense psychological pressures, including an
    injection that paralyzed him for many days.

    Husam indicated that the international commission received
    the Hariri family and the Future Block, who are members of
    the parliament, at its headquarters at Monte Verdi. The
    commission also received reporters from Future TV and Al-
    Mustaqbal paper.

    Husam pointed out that the commission agreed, upon orders
    from the Hariri family, to record his statements.

    Husam said that he tried to escape from prison three times.
    After each attempt he was tortured and intimidated to force
    him to complete his false testimony.

    Husam also spoke about the role played by Jubran Thweini in
    introducing to the international commission another witness
    by the name of Ziad Halabi.

    He strongly attacked the Lebanese media for its role in
    promoting lies, mentioning a number of Lebanese journalists
    who have relations with the American Embassy. He also
    mentioned visits paid by the French ambassador to the
    headquarters of the international commission.

    Husam expressed his readiness to give testimony before any
    international court and to meet Lebanese politicians,
    journalists and security officials who fabricated lies.
    In Beirut, Al-Safir paper said that two different sources
    confirmed that Husam is the same masked witness who appeared
    before the international commission.

    End of summary.

    "The masked witness exposes dangerous details about
    misleading justice. Husam Taher Husam: They tortured and
    intimidated me to make me give false testimony against
    Syria. Strange roles played by rancorous Lebanese
    politicians and journalists. Jamil Al-Saiyed and his friends
    are innocent, because I was forced to give testimony against

    ¶3. Editorial Block Quotes:
    "Harmony over Righteousness"
    Izz-al-Din al-Darwish, an editorialist in government-owned
    Tishreen, commented (11/28): "Some people, in their comments
    on or analysis of the agreement with Detlev Mehlis'
    commission, tried to offend Syria and its central pan-Arab
    role.... Those people are receiving guidance from foreign
    embassies and from the US intelligence agency, which has
    allocated huge amounts of money for the purposes of
    deception and hostile propaganda in the region....
    "These rancorous ones, who are basically merchants of
    positions, brokers of votes, and sellers of media
    interviews, know that Syria never said it would not
    cooperate with the international investigation commission.
    Had they not been blinded by falsehood and prejudgments,
    they would not have fallen into the trap of denying Syria's
    cooperation and fabricating stories about this subject....
    "Syria, from the very beginning, announced that it wanted to
    cooperate with the investigations because it serves Syria's
    interests that the truth about Al-Hariri's assassination be
    revealed. Time will prove how wrong those are who are
    leveling accusations at Syria.
    "Syria could not bargain over the rights of its citizens who
    are wanted for questioning.... Syria obtained what it
    wanted, namely, that the testimony be given under the UN
    flag and that the witnesses return to their country after
    giving their testimony. This is a Syrian right that
    international legitimacy does not deny, and it does not
    conflict with the spirit of Resolution 1636...."
    "Confidence in Innocence and Wisdom of Decision"
    Elias Murad, chief editor of government-owned Al-Ba'th,
    wrote (11/28): "Famous foreign politicians and journalists
    rushed to portray Syria's agreement with Mehlis as a Syrian
    retreat. Syria has always expressed its desire to cooperate
    with the international community so that the truth about Al-
    Hariri's assassination can emerge.... The agreement fulfills
    Syria's demand that the interviews be conducted under the UN
    flag and that the rights of suspects be respected, including
    their right to return to their country.
    "Hence, it can be decisively said that the international
    investigation commission responded to the Syrian desire,
    contrary to the claims promoted by some....
    "The agreement that Syria reached with the investigation
    commission despite all the accompanying pressure was a
    result of persistent political activity and many contacts
    and visits by Arab and non-Arab officials, and the fruit of
    intensive Syrian contacts with the world. We must also take
    into consideration Arab solidarity with Syria and its
    leadership. There was also the solidarity of the peoples of
    the world, who feel that Syria has been wronged; that
    Resolution 1636 conflicts with international law; and that
    Syria, which has always respected international legitimacy,
    is an important country and that any clash with it would
    reshuffle the cards in the region and threaten international
    security and peace. But above all, the agreement was a
    result of the broad cohesion between the [Syrian] people and
    their leader. That came as a surprise to many people,
    especially those who wagered on seditions and pinned their
    hopes on foreign pressure to accomplish their sick
    objectives.
    "Syria, in all its relevant actions, proceeds with absolute
    confidence that it is innocent of the crime of the Al-Hariri
    assassination.... Syria knows that it is targeted, and that
    whenever it overcomes an obstacle attempts are made to place
    new ones in its path. But ultimately Syria knows very well
    the price of its national and pan-Arab positions. It has
    paid heavy prices in the past. And now, when it says that it
    is ready for cooperation and confrontation at the same time,
    it is because it believes that it seeks not a confrontation
    but the implementation of international law, not only in the
    case of a mysterious crime like the Al-Hariri assassination,
    but also in the case of Israel's crystal-clear crimes in
    Palestine, its occupation of Lebanese territories and the
    Syrian Golan, and its continuous aggression against the
    Arabs...."
    "Responsibility of the International Community"
    Muhammad al-Khadr, a commentator in government-owned Al-
    Ba'th, commented (11/28): "The world must deal positively
    with the Syrian step and stop the misleading onslaught
    against Syria. This onslaught is linked not to the Al-Hariri
    assassination but to the US political agenda in the
    region.... Syria has succeeded in explaining its
    viewpoint.... The deal with the investigation commission
    respects Syria's rights in the investigation process as
    stipulated by international laws and resolutions....
    "After this agreement, which was reached on the basis of
    international guarantees and with Mr. Mehlis' consent, the
    Syrians -- government and people -- are not waiting for
    praise or welcome from US Ambassador John Bolton for their
    cooperation with the investigation commission. There were
    accusations, hatred, and threats of further pressure based
    on the report of the investigation commission despite the
    criticism that was leveled at the report by legal experts
    not only in Syria but also in the rest of the world. This
    campaign was harmful and it must stop...."
    "What Is the Use? The Catastrophe of War still Exists"

    Muhammad Ali Buza, an editorialist in government-owned Al-
    Thawra, said (11/28): "Condaleeza Rice's statement about
    gradual withdrawal from Iraq next year is most likely a
    maneuver and an effort to improve the shaky image of Bush's
    administration and the election positions of the Republican
    Party.

    "More importantly, the statement is linked to the pressing
    situation on the ground and the growing and painful losses
    that are striking the heart of America's prestige and
    military doctrine.

    "No one expects the conscience of the US Administration to
    wake up, and even if it does that will not bring life back
    to the thousands of Iraqis and others who have been killed
    by American wars and policies that, to say the least, are
    reckless, repressive, and highly threatening to the future
    of humanity.

    "The American people, who are plagued by the mentality of
    their leaders, must create the required shock, correct and
    rationalize the destructive policies, and lift the immunity
    and protection of the traders in wars, chaos and fires, and
    make them understand, before it is too late, that their
    hands are not free and that there are red lines that cannot
    be crossed if world security, stability, and peace are to be
    maintained."
