Update on report that Assad's brother was linked to chemical weapons attack

About a week ago, it was reported that Assad's brother was "seen" as being behind the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria.

Today we get an update in Reuters, which reports:

Reports that Assad's brother, Maher, a general who commands an elite Republican Guard unit and a crack Syrian army armored division, gave the order to use chemicals have not been substantiated, U.S. sources said. Some U.S. sources now believe Maher Assad did not order the attack and was not directly involved.

and the Truth will be a Conspiracy Theory until all the guilty are dead. Then it will be another "little embarrassment in our history" lied about in HS history texts and revealed in college courses.
