Previously, we passed on a snippet Charles Duelfer's testimony before a Senate Committee to the effect that it's quite possible the WMD material we all knew Saddam had but now can't find went over the Syrian border.  But nobody can say for sure -- yet.

Add to that the role Mr. Duelfer tells us Syria played in arming and financing Saddam's Iraq in flagrant-but-not-terribly-unusual violation of the UN.

And, come to think of it, Syria was pretty interested in getting Saddam's complete, unexpurgated report on how he built his weapons, weren't they?

We don't know what you get when you multiply this together, but the Gnomon is really starting to feel a little nervous about Syria. Luckily their President Al-Assad seems for the present to be an easily intimidated little wimp.  But that may not last forever...
