"Do you have videos--that aren't by, say Saddam Hussein's RGs--that show people videoing themselves as they run away? "

Not sure what you are getting at about Saddam Hussein's RGs, that is just a bad example because that was 30 years ago and nobody had cell cams and even regular still photo cameras were extremely rare among civilians. Even still, journalists arrived after the fact and shot still images of the victims, which showed no visible wounds. We haven't even seen that much in Syria.

Yes there are videos coming out of Syria from both sides and from the perspectives of both attackers and the attacked. As they fight, as they run. Even as they are in conversation and get unexpectedly ambushed. This is the digital age.

As for the 'reports' ahem... babies tossed out of incubators, aluminum tubes, yellow cake ect. I'll wait until I see what is refereed to, in journalism, as a primary source.
