Evidence shows Syrian security got comms from West

1. Hindsight's great.

Now, if she had been able to predict the uprising and civil war when the Italian and Greek companies' proposals to provide the tech to Syria were being considered, and managed to get the European parliament to be in a position of managing and vetoing the contracts, that would have been amazing.

Two or three years ago Syria wasn't such a bad country. I disliked it, but Assad was still considered a "reformer" and a promising "partner for peace." By idiots.

(In fact, this would be a great idea: Require that every contract between any EU company and any government that an EU parliamentarian or by more than one parliamentarian be looked at and approved, personally, by all the parliamentarians that don't like that government. If they can't all get to the contract in two weeks, then it's considered to be personally approved by default. Any denial would have to have a report written as to exactly how the contract and services offered would diminish the credibility of the EU parliament and central government with a cost-benefit analysis showing how much revenue the EU governments involved would lose and how many EU citizens would fail to earn income.)
