The Beginnings of Justice in Syria?

So Says this Reuters AlertNet

Behold!

A pro-Syrian former member of parliament identified as a suspect in the killing of ex-Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri returned to Lebanon on Tuesday to hand himself over to U.N. investigators probing the assassination.

"I will present all the information that I have and I hope that what I have will help the investigation," Nassir Qandil told Reuters after driving back to Lebanon from a family holiday in Syria.

He said he had confidence in the integrity of the U.N. team and that he would meet investigators later in the day.

Al-Hariri utters the usual conspiratorial nonsense as he insists he's innocent. I doubt the Lebanese will see it that way. He's lucky the UN is investigating him; he might actually live to face trial.

Lebanon continues to wipe Syria's boot print off her society and government. A conviction of Al-Hariri would be an important act of closure in this sad chapter of Lebanon's history. Hopefully, Syria gets the message. Stay tuned!
