more hints of any coup showing up

www.reason.com...
Syria now faces both nonviolent and violent upheaval from its Kurdish minority. (This received some western attention a year ago, after a soccer riot in Qamishli set off protests and crackdowns in several Syrian cities.) The country has also seen occasional displays of displeasure from its Arab citizens, and there are hopes that the crisis in Lebanon will fell the regime in Damascus as well. For the moment, though, few expect a full-fledged people-power revolt. "The City's air is rife with all sorts of untoward rumors," the Damascus-based blogger Ammar Abdulhamid wrote last week; "everything is now possible: there is talk of arrests, purges, coup d'états, assassinations, sanctions, invasions, anything and everything, except, of course, freedom. Everything is possible except freedom."

The City’s air is rife with all sorts of untoward rumors, everything is now possible: there is talk of arrests, purges, coup d’états, assassinations, sanctions, invasions, anything and everything, except, of course, freedom. Everything is possible except freedom. Freedom is never mentioned. Freedom never comes to mind. Freedom remains a distant dream.


Notice tho that his is march 4th. Apparently there are lots of rumours going around. That in itself is dangerous for the Syrian government. The rumours can become self fufiling, understand?

No senior Syrians will admit that no one is
completely in control in Syria. It is feared that there may be
a coup, as some of the senior generals and security officials
push Bashar Assad aside and take over. Bashar is seen by his
father's old timers as too inexperienced

Okay, I basically just debunked it: www.publiuspundit.com...

I contacted two people there. Both of them are bloggers inside Damascus, one of which is connected to the embassy. It's all fine. I'm relieved, because if a coup had occurred, it would have been from the military sect that was anti-lebanon withdrawal. Which could have posed problems.

relayed to me via usenet
World Tribune
Syria's military increased deployment around Damascus due to tension within the regime. The opposition Lebanese Foundation for Peace said the Syrian military has undergone a split, with a rebel faction having taken control over parts of the capital, Middle East Newsline reported.
The rebel faction was said to be led by Syrian Interior Minister Ghazi Kanaan and Firas Tlas, the son of former Defense Minister Mustapha Tlas. The sources said this group, which included Syrian intelligence chief in Lebanon, Maj. Gen. Rustom Ghazaleh and Maj. Gen. Ali Madi, has rebelled against Assad's decision to withdraw from Lebanon.

The opposition Lebanese Foundation for Peace is the free-lebanon people. I don't know much about World Tribune, they are noting that whats being said is unconfirmed. I don't know if the free-lebanon people contactde them, or if one of them picked this news up and printed it without contacting them.
