Former #MintPressNews LLC contributor @Steve_Horn1022, who resigned yesterday, sent me the email editor in chief Mnar Muhawesh sent to staff August 29 promoting the dodgy Syria CW story, and at length attributing the story to Dale Gavlak.

"Witnesses on the ground in Goutha, Syria...including family members of rebels and even Jordanian officials have told Dale and her colleague Yahya Abaneh that the chemical weapons were provided to the rebels by Saudi Arabia, specifically through Prince Bandar Bin Sultan," Muhawesh wrote.

Dear friends and colleagues,

MintPress News, Associated Press and NPR correspondent Dale Gavlak, based in Amman, Jordan, who has been the Associated Press correspondent based in that region for over 25 years and still going, has broken a very important story in regards to the Syrian chemical weapons attack that occurred last week, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to be the first to hear.

Witnesses on the ground in Goutha, Syria (location of recent chemical attack), including family members of rebels and even Jordanian officials have told Dale and her colleague Yahya Abaneh that the chemical weapons were provided to the rebels by Saudi Arabia, specifically through Prince Bandar Bin Sultan.
