PROF. MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY: The secret 1957 Plan called for the funding
of a so-called “Free Syria Committee” equivalent to today’s Syrian
National Council (SNC). It also
involved “the arming of “political factions with paramilitary or other
actionist capabilities” within Syria. Under the plan, the CIA together
with Britain’s Secret Intelligence Serivce (SIS) “would instigate
internal uprisings”.
