This document is a reprint of a Christian Science Monitor article from August 23, 2011, authored by Bilal Y. Saab. It analyzes the Arab Spring, specifically comparing the fall of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya to the ongoing resistance of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The document bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, suggesting it was included as part of a larger investigation file, likely related to foreign policy or intelligence briefings found in the possession of the target of the investigation.
