    It seems the guys working on the ground for the OPCW did their job very well , unfortunately it did not suit the narrative .

    Wikileaks is not an impartial or objective organisation as they have demonstrated many times. The piece you've linked is their editorial, their "take". In recent years they have declined fast. For example, I've seen them publish a ridiculous 911 conspiracy story that was mailed into Stratfor via a contact form and release it as a "leak"

    As for the OPCW report on the Duoma chemical attacks, it seems there has been some disagreement within the team, and other actors (e.g. Russia, Syria) have been quick to exploit that, using it as part of their propaganda on the issue

    There have been many chemical attacks carried out in Syria, the evidence has pointed to Assad in most of the cases (typically chlorine barrels being dropped by helicopters), although there are several where rebels/extremists have been suspected

    The context for anyone interested:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douma_chemical_attack

    care to provide a link to this seemingly one document wikileaks released that can be proven untrue? If this is a reason to not trust them, then how you can believe other sources drowning in lies and spin that claim Assad had to have used chemical weapons is beyond me

    Having read through a lot of this latest dump I feel you really are clutching at straws , I'm not disagreeing that Assad is a pr*ck but from the get go this attack just made no sense.
    There had been absolutely no disagreement with anybody who actually visited the site that a chemical attack was unlikely to have occurred (mainly journalists) , finally we see what the real experts found .
    For them to say that exuming bodies to test for chemicals would be a waste of time shows how little evidence there was and how close we were to another Iraq and fictional motives for War .

    Wikileaks is a partisan site. The piece linked here was one of their editorials. I used to actually fund them years ago before they turned into a ****show

    As for the docs the editorials are based on, oh I am sure they are real. But they would need to be read with all docs to understand the context.

    I followed the Arab spring and Syria conflict since the outset, it's impossible to debate online, especially here on boards, chock full of partisan contrarians and pro-Putin trolls
