The "Syrian Electronic Army" is just rented Iranian hackers. They also have a large propaganda chorus you'll see in newspaper article comments just like Gaddafi did to give the illusion of popular support. They also steal citizen journalist videos of atrocities in Syria and then make up fake translations for them to paint the regime in the best light possible. Since most people never fact check anything they see on youtube largely this strategy works. It's too late when the Guardian or Al Jazeera reveal the true translation weeks later damage has already been done.
Shouldn't the Washington Post and other news agencies be running honeypots to catch these guys?
