Did Syria do it?

Gary Leupp offers an excellent argument that Syria did not kill Lebanese prime minister Hariri.

Chris Sanders argues the same thing.

I won't say that I agree with the simplistic analysis that the US or Israel did it, but definitely Israel and the US have benefitted from the assassination politically.

Who did it? My guess is that it was done by some Lebanese faction that thought its agenda would be served by Hariri dying and by Syria getting blamed for it.

That is all.
