Longtime readers may remember the Abdallah family; my report on a protest at the Syrian embassy in Washington last April included a picture of Mohammed Abdallah holding an image of his jailed brother Omar, and related the conditions that Mohammed and his father Ali endured while they were imprisoned.

Reminder: With a recess appointment in December, the Obama administration sent an ambassador to Syria for the first time in five years.

If it wasn't such a serious situation, it would be laughable. He coddles our enemies and chastises our friends. An American ambassador to Syria? It is giving them respect where none is due.
