11. Say, aren't struggling Syrian rebels breaking the Law of Syria ?

President Obama seemed quite adamant that people breaking the Law should be turned over to their Government for prosecution, to face the consequences of their decision to break the Law, no matter what they felt of the Law's justice. Dissidents have to work within the System, they can't just do their own thing and break the Law, President Obama declared about Ed Snowden.

Now I'm no expert in Syrian Law,
but I bet that killing a member of the Syrian military and cutting out the heart and taking a bite of it in front of your maniac rebel followers, is at least a felony.

Imagine something similar in the USA - killing a soldier, cutting out his heart and taking a bite. Unless it was just a private, or a private 2nd class, you'd be in pretty serious trouble with the Law...
