First, a note about the video that is not here. Last night, I saw a 7 1/2-minute clip, purportedly from Daraa in Syria on Friday. It begins with the sound of gunfire as a cameraman goes to the ground. When he gets up, he is surrounded by the dead and wounded.

The next few minutes are so graphic, even as they are moving, that I could not bring myself to post the clip.

This footage is from an unnamed location over the weekend. A bloodied protesters cries, "Peaceful, peaceful". A moment later, gunshots ring out.
