1. What is amazing is that US is supporting these al Qaeda terrorists.

Some people want to smooth their way to power even. There is a big bipartisan treason faction in D.C. that needs to be cleaned out totally.

2. CNN is such sht, what inane questions, and shameless sensationalism. I am glad I don't watch it.

All "Syrian Rebel" are not "Al Qaeda",. . tad more complex than cable news wants let on.

3. Nusra is missing, which CNN named

But wiki mentions Ahrar al-Sham, which was also mentioned in the NYTimes article.

Mr. Schrier said his captors were mostly members of the Nusra Front, a group aligned with Al Qaeda and designated a terrorist organization by the United Nations and the United States.

But as he was moved from prison to prison, he said, he and his main cellmate, another American, were also held by a unit of Ahrar al-Sham, an Islamist group that works closely with the Free Syrian Army, a rebel umbrella group recognized by Western and Arab governments.
