Syria's Heart of Darkness
(Wall Street Journal) Sohrab Ahmari - Last month some 55,000 photographs appeared documenting the industrial-scale torture, starvation and execution of thousands of detainees by the Assad regime, leaked by a defector from the Syrian military police. An international team of legal and forensic experts concluded that the photos present "clear evidence" of "systematic torture and killing of detained persons by the agents of the Syrian government." The Wall Street Journal has now obtained additional photographs that appear to belong to the same batch. The brutality depicted in these photographs is almost beyond description.
