http://acloserlookonsyria.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_ Hailing from several nations, the CIWCL's members have come together to investigate events of the civil war in Libya, the lead-up to it, and the aftermath of it. We use pu
blicly available sources, gathered and compared, with an emphasis on primary evidence. Physical evidence (via photographs and video) is taken as that, and witnesses claiming to have seen things as, well… claims, which should be double-checked against other claims and against the physical evidence. This crucial aspect of our approach in large part explains the radically different findings from those reached previously by Human Rights organizations, world governments, and the mass media. The CIWCL’s members are driven to examine the clues partly out of a natural bias against accepting the mainstream narrative of the war. This bias is frequently supported, upon investigation, by signs that our suspicions were valid. Considering the overwhelming contrary bias to dibelieve the Libyan government of its day and credit each rebel accusation, the CIWCL provides unusual and thorough – and thus useful - insights, whether "the world" wants them or not. CICWL is also now looking into war crimes in Syria. http://ciwclibya.org:/syria.html
