actually that is one of the clues that it is not military grade Sarin... The gas molecules would collect around hair and leave traces which would kill first responders. This is one of the tell signs whether it was military grade or not .....
“It is still not clear what type of agent killed the victims,” although there are separate reports that the agent used ranged from the deadly nerve agent Sarin to a high concentration of fluoride, which is used to clear impurities out of drinking water.
Bodansky said that various tests suggest the nerve agent Sarin was used, reinforcing the conclusion that “kitchen Sarin” was used, although much will depend on the U.N.’s findings once all tests are completed.
Other specific elements such as the belief in divine incarnation, permissibility of alcohol, celebration of Christmas and Zoroastrian new year makes Alawite Islam highly suspect in the eyes of many orthodox Sunnis and Shiites.

I hope folks understand why some of us have pretty much 0 faith in the US Intelligence community as capable, competent or accurate on much of anything. Especially if it's self serving in even the slightest way.
Except it wasn't U.S. Intelligence that gathered the information for the U.N. Inspection Report or the Human Rights Watch Report that support the evidence in Syria.
I don't think we are comparing apples to apples here. Yes, both sides have most likely used Sarin at some point. The question is who committed the large attack on August 21st?
Again.. If we're suppose to support any US intervention, anywhere in the world again? They better work a LITTLE harder than evidence that almost entirely demands "Trust us...it's accurate because we say it is". Not this bunny. Never again do I get suckered that easily.

The problem is, that's all we the people are ever going to get since we're not allowed to view all of the classified information that goes along with it.

There's no denying that some videos over the last couple of years have been staged, but it looks like this article is geared only towards East Ghouta. In the meanwhile, the official U.S. report says that intelligence has viewed over 100+ videos taken from 12 different locations in which chemical attacks have taken place, not just this one.
