 * ''The two WikiLeaks documents everyone should read to understand the crisis in Syria:
 * Re: INSIGHT - military intervention in Syria, post withdrawal status of forces - Reva Bhalla, 2011-12-07
 * "Summary of potential vulnerabilities and possible means to exploit them" - ROEBUCK, end of 2016
 * (Linked to section "THE HARIRI INVESTIGATION AND THE TRIBUNAL" - Why the yellow highlight and the bookmark link ("efmBJqBLX") to the section on the Hariri tribunal? The whole cable is about "exploiting vulnerabilities" to destroy or weaken Syria and its "regime". The Hariri murder is no more notable than the other sections. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 10:26, 10 September 2015 (UTC) )
 * William V. Roebuck was the Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus from 2004 to 2007. Now he is U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain.
