A professor who challenged the 2013 claims of a chemical attack in Syria is now questioning the Trump administration’s narrative blaming the Assad government for the April 4 attack in the Idlib province town of Khan Shaykhun.
On Tuesday, the White House released a declassified intelligence brief accusing Syrian President Bashar Assad of ordering and organizing the attack, in which Syrian planes allegedly dropped chemical ordnance on civilians in the rebel-held town.
The report “contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft,” wrote Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Theodore Postol, who reviewed it and put together a 14-page assessment, which he provided to RT on Wednesday.

“I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun,” wrote Postol...

I worked with sarin gas and organophosphates on two separate jobs. One was a lab analyzing how well the nerve agents were being destroyed. The other was at a manufacturing plant where organophosphates were manufactured. Phosgene gas leaks were not uncommon. I don't think first responders would handle the bodies without proper protective gear. At least they should have had gloves on.
This Theodor Postol?

The report “contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft,” .............................. Errrrr? Professor were you in the briefing room? Who supplied the information to you? Most of the intel. I’m sure was classified TS FOUO. But we appreciate your personal opinion. The use of guided munitions is to hit a specific target without major collateral damage. If the building was hit by one bomb, there was a reason to hit it. When the bomb struck the target and blew up, how much of an area did the gas cover? I sense that the bomb may have hit a gas facility whether it be for storage or production. No 16 pages, just my personal opinion, even though they claim that Assad ordered it.

Which is against all nuclear tech apparently...even for power.
If the rebels gassed their own village with chemical weapons they are probably feeling very stupid right now.
come on the argument ‘our leaders know secret stuff’ is something you’d hear from a apparatchik in Stalin’s time.
why are you thinking like you live in a totalitarian state ?
So he gave his report to RT America? Ok.
It is amazing that the only intel we are subjected to comes from CNN and the previous head of the CIA who was a convert to islam.
Interesting, thanks.
“Postol has investigated the Ghouta chemical attack, and he has collaborated with Maram Susli (known online as ‘Syrian Girl’) in investigating the incident through examining YouTube footage and other sources”
He watches YouTube. Good to know that I’m now a fellow investigator.
Right, vooch, it makes so much more sense to believe a LaRouche follower who does his research by watching YouTube.
Anytime a liberal, especially a professor, says the word, obviously, it’s anything but obvious. The same goes for the words “ it clear,” or “clearly.”
Why the hell were they leaking phosgene? I presume they were making chlorinated organophosphate pesticide.
On one hand, I share many of the question you and the prof bring up, for the same reasons. I did at the time and I still do.
On the other hand, rhetorically asking, what good is it going to do to question the overwhelming conclusion? The conclusion that has been reached is the one we have been instructed to accept. You and I are never going to get better than 6th hand information.
RT America.
Sorry, gonna go have a laughing fit.
