Syria to Replace Intelligence Chief in Lebanon
2005-03-01
Brig. Rustom Ghazaleh, head of the Syrian Intelligence Forces in Lebanon, will soon be replaced by Brig. Munir Jaloud, a leading Syrian electronic newspaper said. The newspaper, Champress, quoting "unofficial security sources," said Ghazaleh will be replaced soon after he had received harsh criticism from Lebanese opposition and media sections for his handling of security affairs in Lebanon. It added that Ghazaleh was also criticized by some Syrian officials and circles. The newspaper said it failed to get confirmation of the report from official sources.
That's the hard part about life in a dictatorship. You can't be too successful, because then you become a danger. But you can't be a screw-up, because that makes the regime look bad. So you end up with mostly mediocrities, marking time.

#2  The Syrians don't have any intelligence (as least Baby Assad and his minions don't).

Though hopefully they'll get some toot sweet and GET THE HELL OUT OF LEBANON.
