Syria's Cyberthugs | #arabspring #revolution #bashir

The embattled government of Syrian PresidentBashar al-Assad has pulled no punches in holding on to power throughout the country's months-long uprising.

First, street thugs beat back the protesters. Then, tanks. Now, Assad has apparently turned to an army of mostly anonymous propagandists to sway public opinion in his favor on the Facebook pages of Western media organizations.

 We've seen this Syrian Electronic Army, as it's been dubbed, firsthand.
