I have been in touch with "Aljernaan" for some time. I think she is trustworthy. I don't think she supports either side, and she appears genuine about finding an end to the war. She has both Muslim and non-Muslim friends, and gets an earful from both sides.
GorillaMa,
You've been in contact with "Aljernaan"?
This is fascinating. Can you tell us more about her?
BTW, how was your trip to Caracas and how is your MIL doing?
