spoke too soon

while the UN issued a report implicating syria in the assassination of lebanese opponent rafiq hariri, the report was apparently toned down to remove the names of very high ranking syrian officials, including the brother and brother-in-law of syrian president bashar al-assad.

and good ole kofi annan may have played a part

Mr Annan had pledged repeatedly through his chief spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, that he would not change a word of the report by Detlev Mehlis, a German prosecutor. But computer tracking showed that the final edit began at about 11.38am on Thursday — a minute after Herr Mehlis began a meeting with Mr Annan to present his report. The names of Maher al-Assad, General Shawkat and the others were apparently removed at 11.55am, after the meeting ended.
