This interview with MIT weapons expert Theodore Postol is compelling viewing. He comes right out and says that the leaked report shows overwhelming evidence that the attack was staged and that the official OPCW report was fraud. In previous interviews I've heard with Postol, he's never come close to saying anything that unequivocal.
He also makes some interesting remarks about the tension between technical experts and bureaucrats.

- smileypete 7y agoI skimmed the OPCW report but what struck me was it appears they failed to investigate the cylinder itself. The damage on it looked to have occured some while ago due to extensive rust, and it looked squashed as if it had been under a flattened building. Also there was a pretty computer model illustration of how it smashed through the roof, but no picture of the hole itself. The most telling thing was they'd be absolutely no military advantage to the attacks, in fact the opposite as it could result in bombing from the western powers (which it did afaik) ETA: Report on the attacks by Robert Fisk: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/douma-syria-opcw-chemical-weapons-chlorine-gas-video-conspiracy-theory-russia-a8927116.html https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/douma-syria-opcw-chemic...
